I recently bought a mint 1970 BLR with period scope. I about to take off the scope and mount and put on a Leupold 1.75-6 I have, but after some inspection the old scope looks kind of interesting. The scope itself, a 1.5-5x, is a straight tube with no adjustments. The mount has set screws on one side and indexed windage and elevation screws on the other, and no rings. Both scope and mount say Bausch and Lomb on them. The reticle is also interesting--tapered from wide to very thin at the center. The scope is spring loaded into the mount and can be removed without tools, leaving the iron sights usable through the ears of the mount. Is this setup worth keeping, it seems pretty nice? Or is it a good idea that failed? I've never seen anything like it before.
