My Pre-64 .300 H&H has a 2.5-8x36 Leupy that is about 30 years old. Every time I think I'll update it I talk myself out of it. It just works and handles perfectly. And I still hunt with it regardless of value. As my gunsmith who has several Pre 64's told me. "If you can't use it what good is it? And if you screw it up that bad I'll fix it."
He was right because this rifle is not for sale. When I kick it somebody will inherit her. As Col. Cooper said in "The Art of the Rifle." "The rifle is the queen of all weapons, and the queen is not for sale!"
