Need opinion on first SS Rifle scope mount color

[WNCTracker]

This is my first SS rifle and I'm putting the parts together.  Just out of curiosity do most people use silver mounts and rings to match the receiver with a black scope or just go all black?  I know, I know, I know....won't change a thing regarding performance.... and to each their own, I'm just curious.

Black scope, black mounts ( Talley one piece lightweights) if you haven't decided on those..

Yep. Those are the ones.

As you can tell I like the silver look. This is me and Asreal. My deer rifle for 20 years now.

Pardon the horrible spelling.

The only thing i have to ask, we helped with the scope, now the mount's ..are we going to have to pick out the bullets, sling and shoot the gun...lol....

I have both silver and black. I think I actually prefer black rings and scope on a stainless gun

You know i had to mess with you...just having a little fun...

Trust me, go black rings and scope

^ yep & depending on what your hunting, go matte black.  If its a coyote gun, try some vinyl camo tape on the barrel too...

Guess I'll be the odd man out here. Love the looks of a stainless scope on a stainless rifle. Had almost the exact same setup as happy for some time. Unfortunately, someone offered me a stellar deal on a scope swap so it's now gone. Replacing the Silver scope with a black one and keeping the silver rings. All my others have black scopes with silver rings and I think they look fine. Deer have never complained.

I run black dnz mounts or Talley's one piece light mounts. I think the silver they use allot times doesn't match the stainless on my guns. Just my .02 I would also use a claw sling and shoot Barnes bullets with butler creek flip up caps. And would shoot a leupold scope.
