I bought my first centerfire in the mid/late 60's. It was a Rem 700 ADL, Redfield mounts, and a K4 Weaver.

Redfield mounts were the state of the art at my gunshop back then. Weaver K4 scopes were the standard for the reasonable scope line.

My NIB rifle was $102, I couldn't afford the extra $13 for a BDL. With the $20 for the mounts and the price of the K4, I was out the door for $156.
