    Nothing wrong with the Pecar scope, still works as good as the day he bought it. That rifle has shot hundreds if not thousands of animals.

    Your scope should have markings on it somewhere to distinguish what it is?
    Pecars come up on TM from time to time and still attract good prices.
    Wee problem with those vintage European scopes was the 26mm tubes.
