Leupold high gloss gone?

[johnl]

Just an observation, it seems like most of their product line is in matte finish. Have they discontinued using high gloss finish?

Yeah, gloss is gone. Apparently almost nobody wants them, such are the whims of fashion.

Last I saw you can still get some models in gloss. Such as the Fixed 6

I recently bought a VX-2 3-9x40 in gloss.

A reflective finish doesn't help from a stealth perspective.

How did we ever kill animals for the last 90 years?

This set up is the way to do it.

I wonder that sumtimez myself.

All that gloss, blued steel and walnut. Guess we just got lucky.

Deer have evolved. Kevlar extruded into their skin, only latest marketing super duper magnums penetrate. Thermal vision, they are setting out game cams by our gun safes.

I have alot of gloss scopes, mostly for BR shooting.
They match well a nice blued rifle.

Sad to see they are almost not produced anymore.
