Well I'm a classic auto enthusiast and I guess my idea of "period correct" applies to the right look, the right wheels & tires, the right paint for a certain build whether it's an early 70's muscle car, a late mid 60's build, an early mid 60's... a 50's nose high gasser etc. And for this rifle I simply had the same path of thought.
I had no idea that the term period correct was reserved for or pertained specifically to firearms of collectable status.
With "period correct" in my post title I certainly wasn't implying that I had some sort of wonderful collector gun here.
I just have a hunting rifle that I do hunt with and I want it to wear 45 year old optics, rings & bases. That's all.
Sorry I got hot headed, I may have incorectly read/interpreted things as a relatively condescending reply and that set me off a bit.
My stupid Millet rings have got to go and I'm just looking for ideas on what mounts to shop for on ebay or on other sites that might be peddling trinkets like that.
