Changing the finnish on your scope???

[MuleySniper]

I acquired a Leuy Vari XIII 3.5-10x50 for the top of my Tikka. Fabulous scope and the rifle drives tacks. No complaints...other than it has a gloss finish. Ive visited the Leupold website and they offer just about any custom job on a scope other than tube refinish. Anyone know of any reputable resources that can change the finish of a scope? I don't want any funky paint job out of a spray can. There has to be a company that can epoxy coat, powder coat or some type of durable coating out there that can do it. Any ideas??

Personally I wouldn't even worry about it. Iv'e been hunting with a shiny Leupold Vari X II for 20 years now and it hasn't kept me from killing any animals  

Unless your sniping people over in Iraq

The scope could be subject to damage hydroprinting it. Thats the one item not garenteed to work after the process.

Thanks guys. Ive been super busy and sick lately and I completely forgot about my post   Sounds like it may not be worth changing. I sure wish Leupold could do it. Oh well. It was just a cosmetic thing.
