Fireball #7709 Life Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I find myself with a nice rifle, that came with 1" scope rings, and no scope. If you have a nice, used scope, that you're not using, please send me a Private Message with what it is, brand, model, reticle, etc. and your asking price. I'd prefer a blue finish(but would consider others) and am open to most power ranges.(I might switch a scope from a rifle I already have) Thanks.

Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Can you be more specific? What price/quality do you want? Do you want special features? Do you want a hunting scope or a target scope? Will a classic scope serve your needs? Are your mounts adjustable for windage and elevation? All of this will help us offer you a scope.

All of this will help us offer you a scope. I could, but that might exclude something that would work just fine, that I'm OK with after all, or that might be a better fit on one of my other guns that has a scope that I could switch to this one. The rifle is an old Browning B78 in 22-250. Non adjustable, standard 1" rings/mounts. I initially thought something 3-9/4-16 in the 40mm objective class with an illuminated dot, fine crosshair reticle like a Leupold CRS V3HD 4-16x40. But a little reality snuck in, I don't know how much I'm really going to shoot this gun, so dropping $700ish on a scope like that became a question. I'm not planning on going super long range and didn't necessarily want to put a 3 pound/3 foot long scope with a huge objective, on a relatively svelt rifle. But I have other rifles with Pre-30 and 34mm tube scopes/rings that would probably be just fine on this rifle, that I could possibly put a 1/1.5-5/6 on if someone offered up one of those and be happy. Or maybe there is something else that pops up I didn't know I wanted to try, straight 8x or similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Big Tree Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Natchez has blemished Burris scopes.

Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I have a couple of classic scopes available. One is a Bausch & Lomb BalVar. It is not internally adjustable, but it has an adjustable mount that comes with it. The other is a Weaver V8. It is internally adjustable for elevation, but externally for windage. It comes with the proper (Weaver) mounts. I also have a Weaver K-4 fixed power scope. I do not have any modern scopes that are not in use.
