Re: HELP! Ruger 1-H Scope mounting...

If it were a bright, clear...all metal Weaver 4x I would be interested...The problem with a foggy older Weaver is that they fog between joined lenses...

By the way...some of those old Weavers are very good scopes, no matter what you might think. Weaver, and many other makers, at one time bought Zeiss lenses under contract. There are some damned clear and bright older Weavers still kicking around...and you can always use them as hammers, should the need arise...

I was lucky enough to find one of these in K3 post and cross hair...almost mint. It went on a Sauer cape gun of mine until I find just the right Hensoldt, or Kahles, or Voitlander...It has as good, or even better optics than many of the so called "period" scopes sought out by the purists...and I AM fussy about optics...eyes are getting older.

Some of the newest Weaver line looks OK so far, also. They are not the same scopes as the junk Weaver turned before their demise a while back, and subsequent reincarnation...they were pretty awful IMHO!!

I still prefer Leupolds over all others...sufficiently good optics and long + forgiving eye relief...their 2.5x8 is my alltime favorite, followed by the 1.5x5, 1x4, 2x7, and m8 4x...in that order.

Not knocking other very good scopes...I like the Burris scopes, and see that they are responding to the growing safari rifle market, a good move on their part! Optics in general have never been better!

How MUCH cash...?
