Maybe I'm just late to the party, but I found something out and I wanted to share in case anybody else has the same issue. At this stage in my life I need (not want) Illuminated Reticles on my scopes. But I also have been buying some vintage rifles that look much better with the period correct glossy scopes than they do with matte scopes. The only scopes I saw that were illuminated and glossy were the 3-4K Leica's.
