That is going to be a lovely little rifle, but I have to say that with that stock I would consider going without scope.
Kind of like scoping a Purdey 20 gauge.
I get what you are saying, but really do need a scoped rifle. I want to actually use this rifle for all my future hunting but do have a couple synthetics for inclement weather.
Nice little period 3x Leupold in detachables?
That was one of my first choices as well.
I really like the way you think.
Not so easy to find those 3x fixed here in Canada, esp one in good condition. The scope consideration is still down the road a bit.
One could have a couple scopes in QDs for this. I like the 2.5-8. If the rifle and mounts were fitted for this scope, it would probably work for other Leupolds incl. the 3x as well.
