Came across this old unloved compact M8-4x33. Had to spend a hour carefully drilling out the screws to remove the old mounts and apart from a few scratches, its actually a pretty decent scope. Wasn’t sure what to do with it but had a light bulb moment as well as a set of steel Tasco rings to suit and bingo, a good match for the safe princess. The scope owes me nothing so will probably repaint in a nice satin finish as the princess can’t be wearing anything tatty. Has inspired me to take the wee magnum out for a walk around the paddocks. It’ll be ideal for a bit of hare shooting me thinks.
