Picked up an old custom .257 Roberts last weekend... 24" barrel, Timney trigger, JC Higgins stock and cost me $300. Rifle is in nice shape...had bluing wear from where the barrel contacted the gun cabinet/safe. All in all, looks like a nice, honest hunting rifle. Came with Leupold STD base and rings and now I am looking for a scope....
I have a B&L Elite 4200, 2.5-10X that is sitting on an underused Handi-rifle in .223 that I could throw on it. Or, should I look for more of a "period" piece of glass like an old Redfield, Weaver, Lyman, etc.? Looking for suggestions and experiences. Only "old" scopes I have are a pair of Japanese Tasco scopes that I have on some Contender barrels...and the glass is better than my M8.
