Apologies for the minor diversion, but....
Can anyone name the scope on the Pachmayr, Howe, and Griffin & Howe sporters pictured in the link above?

The narrow ocular bell (or lack of an ocular bell!) could be very useful for low-mounting on collectable period sporters that have unmodified bolt-handles. I have been unable to track down early German scopes so-designed, that were not built for rimfire rifles.

A high scope mount that lifts the firer's cheek off the stock just doesn't feel comfortable to me.

Thanks for posting the link mckinney, they are all very elegant sporters indeed, and Owen is in fine company there!
