For some reason that defies logic, I have purchased a new Howa .308 SS heavy barrel rifle. I plan to use it for multi-purposes, from targets (some long-range) and hogs/deer on a lease in East Texas that sometimes requires longer range shots. Ultimately, I may have the SS barrel teflon coated. Until then, should I put a silver scope on it or just go with matte black and to heck with color coordination? In other words, is color of scope on a SS barrel even a consideration?
As to scope choice, I am narrowing it down and am considering the the Burris Fulfield 3-9x40 or the Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40. Probably will choose the Bushnell based on prior good experiences with Bushnell, cost, and opinions from this site. Thanks.
