[Magnum Wheel Man]

I have 25 or 30 Contender barrels, & own more Burris scopes than probably any other... I've never had a problem with any of my Burris's... I do use their posi lock scopes on my biggest "kickers" ( 45-70 & 375 Winchester ) as well as a couple of my bigger rifles like my 375 H&H Browning... but have some of their basic scopes on more normal recoiling ( 44 mag, etc ) barrels with no issues BTW... I also have a 35 Remington barrel... Burris has a lifetime warrenty, I wouldn't expect you would have any problems, but even if you did, they'll fix it free

can't really say on your barrel color... I know they used to do an Armaloy frame & barrel ( though I'm not sure if they made 35 Remington Armaloy barrels or not ) but with Duracoat & all the other "paint" type coatings today, your barrel might have been just coated... or could be stainless ???
