I will take the rings off this scope and add them to the new scope. If the replacement scope has a smaller tube dia I will make spacers around the tube to fit these rings.



These would have to be tinned or sweated on wouldn't they mate?
Old steel scopes would be a thing of the past, be interesting bluing everything again!

A steel tube 2X or 4X Weaver scope might be OK.

Well, I installed an Ajack 2.5x52, Berlin so.33 WWI Sniper scope. Although very old, this has optics that are clear enough for shooting.

Next stop will be the range to test it out.

I agree. It looks appropriate. I wish I owned that rifle, and stix had a better one.

What a great thread. Very interesting.

Will be good to see the "new" scope on the rifle.
