Nice to see someone else realizes old high quality scopes are a great value in our "gotta be new or it's no good" world.

I deal in classic scopes on fleabay and anyone who tells me an El Paso Weaver, Kollmorgen, Denver Redfield, Lyman, Bausch or Unertl is NG is just uninformed.
Outside of Leupold and Nightforce there is only the Pacific rim crap out there "made in the USAicon".

I finally got mine shooting well by taking off all the top hand guards. I've ordered two books on accurizing the SMLE which I assume will cure the lousy bedding.

My latest toy with an old USA made Burris. It shoots better than most commercial bolt actions. An overbore scope on a NM M-1 is a joy !
