My Dad is getting up there in years and he just gave me his old hunting rifle. It is a sporterized M1903 Springfield done sometime in the 1960's. The story goes that this rifle was used in competition at Camp Perry prior to it's conversion into a hunting rifle so it may have been a M1903 NM but who knows
Anyway ... it has an old beat up Bushnell Scope Chief on it and I would like to replace it with a decent period correct scope. Not just a scope that is in decent shape cosmetically, but one that is also usable with decent glass, durability and etc. I know that vintage scopes don't hold a candle to new models but I'm sure that some are better than others.
I obtained a first generation Weaver K4 that would look really good on this rifle but it is just so primitive that it is almost unusable. Any suggestions on what to get? Maybe some sort of Leopold?
