Nothin had a rep for toughness like the B&L externally adjustable scopes. Perma-centered too, obviously. Can be had online, as can mounts for older stuff. These were top of the line in their day. These puppies are all tube!
Personally, though, I don't know if I want to trust any really old scope for an important hunt. Makes more sense for casual meat hunting and such. A set of Weaver mounts would let you swap scopes with a minimum of fuss so you can go back to the antique-y one after the hunt. I've got a bunch of old ones that came on used rifles, but I don't use them.
