M44 rifle scope- what'cha using?

[Twinson]

I have a tapped M44 receiver with a Havilin scout mount attached. I was thinking of getting a Leupold rim fire scope for it (4X with the fixed parallax set at 60 yards). Any thoughts?

That's a great scope, but if you're looking for a budget alternative:

consider this (http://www.opticsplanet.net/tasco-3-9x44-titan.html)

FWIW; AFAIK; IMHO; YMMV; yadda, yadda, yadda.

Bobby Bowden is doing a fine job - just leave him alone.

I'm using Leup:lol:ies. They cost a lot more than the rifle!

Found an old Weaver V9 for mine, 3-9 with adjustable objective for parallax. Seems to be in decent shape. Already have one on my Savage Mk II so am familiar with it.

I use an old Weaver 2.5-7
The receiver was drilled and tapped below the wood line.

How much was the Weaver 2.5-7x?

[Devil Dog]

Probally about $40. I bought it in the 60's
