I recently acquired an older Super grade in 270 that I plan on hunting with. My eyes require me to scope the gun but I would like to go with something that matches the style and age of the rifle rather than the latest 50 mm super scope that compensates for the changing polar vortex and rotational pull of the moon before it tells me the hold over and windage numbers for the 100 yard shot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I use gloss Leupold M8 4X or 6X scopes on all my guns. Classic scopes that to my eye look perfect on a pre64 M70 or Kimber Montana M or L. YMMV

The VX5 series doesn't look horrible either for my eyes.

To my eyes those old wood stocked winchester M70's look good with leupold scopes. I would pick a 6x36 or even a decent 3-9x40.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money, I have 2 older steel tube Weavers that might work for you. A V-7 wide view (2-7 Duplex) $135 shipped and a K-4 (post & crosshair) $125 shipped. Both of these are in very good condition (glass & appearance).

Thank you for all the input guys. I dug around in the cabinet and found an old VX 3x9 that looks pretty good on the old gun. Fine cross hairs and no dot so it is pretty old school and should work fine.
