Rick99 Campfire Outfitter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 14,593 N E Kansas	Looks like the later Winchester rimfire scope (1935-1945) used on the Winchester 677/697. They came in 2.75X and 5X. I think the only marking of this version was on the mount not on the tube. Last edited by Rick99; 01/31/12. Savage...never say "never". Rick... Join the NRA...together we stand, divided we fall!

Depends on the tone of the "advice" and the intent of the poster. I take it for what it's worth, no offense intended. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

I remember the few early Winchester A5's I looked at were all marked, as were the Stevens A5's after Stevens took it over from Winchester. But I guess never say never.

He told me that he is 100% sure that it is a Winchester scope.
