Having fun reading this thread, hope it keeps going.
I too am very much into vintage scopes and putting them to use! I am guilty of buying an old steel tubed weaver, from say the 1950's, for the sole purpose of finding a rifle to match it!
I could claim that same scenario for some old Redfields, Lymans, Leupolds, Norman-Fred, Kollmorgen, etc..
Just too much fun out there, but not enough time!
Sure, old scopes can still get it done!
