Just curious, but for other than nostalgic reasons, why would you want to burn ammo using a 50+ year old scope with optically quality that you'd likely have nothing but contempt for if this was a current production scope?


1) because I like to match older rifles with period correct scopes when I can, so long as the scope works well.

2) getting harder and harder to find scopes with a gloss finish, and this one had a gloss finish

3) also hard to find the post and crosshair reticle, and this scope had THAT feature as well.

Would have been pretty cool on a Savage 250/3000 or 358 or 1950's era 336 for example.
