Now, if only it was black to match the rifle instead of silver... what are the OST rules (besides "don't spray the lenses!")for spraypainting an adjustable rimfire scope?

Re: Rimfire Scope
I picked up a Bushnell 3-9x at Gander Mountain last night while staring aghast at their centerfire ammunition prices. I figure it was cheap enough to learn how to sight in a scope and also cheap enough that if it breaks, there's no wailing and gnashing of teeth. Besides, the old 60s-era scope that came with the rifle was broken right out of the box.

Re: Rimfire Scope
Anyone have a link to the IOR-VALDADA rimfire scope? I couldn't find one on IOR's website.

Re: Rimfire Scope
They wanted $20 more for black. If I have to coat it in Sharpie it'd still be cheaper.

Re: Rimfire Scope
Just stuff the lens recesses with enough kleenex to fill them up. then masking tape over the kleenex. Paint whatever color you want. Hint - coyote brown is the new black.
