Yep== so much in the idea of believing what a lady says in regarding to the shooting game-- I just bought a new Leupold VX-Freedom scope from a local dealer AR-3-9x40 TMR (and for $100 less than the Bass-Ass-Wards-Blow Cabela's in GR had them listed $175 with tax and bore sighted on my M70 .220Swift-- wish I could get factory ammo for this "dinger" at that type of cost avantage. The gent I dealt with was just speaking with the Leupold Rep on Monday of this week-- and his chat confirmed just what you said/wrote/e-messaged here. Mine has the dulled black finish-- "No rattle-No shine"" RWTF
