I understand this dilemma -- Brian Dickicon is restoring a 1944 Long Branch Sniper for me. It will be in 100% FTR condition when I get it back (will show pics soon). But my budget is going to be stretched to find an authentic REL scope for it. If the Numrich repro (now priced at $299 USD) is not the best option, what do the experts suggest that is affordable and quality?
