I own a Savage VSS in .22 mag and the 3x9x38 isn't cutting it anymore with my older eyes.  I'm looking for at least a 12x in a sliver finish to match the rifle.  None of the usual suspects seem to make one at the power I'm looking for.  The rifle cost me $300.00 about 10 years ago and I generally don't spend over 50% of rifle cost on a scope. Anyone know where I can get this elusive scope?  Thanks.

Just  looked on Nikon's website and they have a dozen or so.Midsouth Shooter Supply has some as well. Bing is a friend.

I still have my Weaver Optics T36 (36x40mm) with fine crosshair reticle in silver. It appears to still be in production.

Last I knew Leupold had a nice selection of silver colored scopes, so did Sightron.

Nikon has a Prostaff 5 3.5-14x40 BDC in silver but it's $319 and not a rimfire scope so no 50 yard parallax.  I'm not really sure if the parallax is that much of an issue with a .22WMR compared to the .22LR though.  Honestly if you are looking for a decent scope at half the cost of your gun you might be SOL.  Those Savage's are pretty accurate rifles and considerably more expensive these days so when you consider 50% of what a comparable rifle today would cost your budget range for your scope increases significantly.  If you look at like that spending $300+ sounds just right .  

I put a Nikon silver finish Monarch 2.5-10x40 BDC on my stainless Savage 116 FCSS .30-06 a couple years ago and they are good scopes.  I think I have 3 rifles now with Nikon scopes on them, very good glass for the money.
