    M44 rifle scope- what'cha using?

    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?

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

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

    consider this

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

    I'm using Leupies. 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.
