Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Daylite Brand Riflescope

I recently purchased a Savage 99 in .243 and mounted on top of it is a 2.5 X 8 Daylite scope. Just wondering if anyone remembers much about the Daylite scopes. I'm wondering how they compared to other scopes of that era. Would they compare closer to a weaver of that era, a redfield, or a bausch and lomb? I plan to use this rifle...like the vintage look, but don't want to keep it on a shooter unless it's a dependable scope. I just don't remember anything about this brand....is it a bottom of the line scope?

Thanks
Scott

I have a 4 power Daylite scope on a Weatherby Vangaurd 300 Win. Mag. It is to only scope ever on this rifle. It has a T post with very fine point. I bought it in about 1970 or 1971 for $24.00. It is bright,clear and true and is the only scope I will ever have on this rifle. I have other rifles with verious scopes Weaver, Bushnell, Cabelas, etc. If I could find 4 or 5 Daylite scopes with the same rectical I would buy them.

never heard of that brand.

Interesting first post.............
