When I got my first pe-64, I was talking to the only old Winchester fan in my area (that I know) about whether to scope it period correct or go with current technology. He made a statement that turned out to be very true. He said,"you've got your first one, if you don't go broke or die, it won't be your last". Well, since then two rifles that I just knew I'd keep forever have gone down the road and been replaced with a '53 and a '59 fwt. Of the 3, two of them have current Leupolds and the duplicate .308 has a Scopechief. After hunting them both ways, If I only was going to have one pre-64, it would be with the best new glass I could afford but keeping it somewhat compact and in tune with the lines of the rifle. In other words, no Nightforce, no Hubbles.
Great looking rifle Brad, Enjoy.
