    Vintage Scopes

    Hi Team

    Has anyone purchased anything from this site?

    https://www.vintagegunscopes.com/

    Looks great in terms of the scopes available for those old Mausers, BSA’s, Husqvarna’s and Winchesters that many is us love.

    Cheers

    Gilly

    @csmiffy yip I found their listed prices reasonable compared to other Stateside retailers.Unlike others over there they don't seem to goudge a premium for vintage gear.In both instances I requested economy rate shipping option by the slow boat from China as I wasn't in a hurry.Arrived in my rural delivery letterbox approx 3 weeks later with no rummaging by our customs feds.And as for exchange rate well that's on a day to day basis depending how many notes comrade Robinson has got treasury to print overnight in the banana republic

    Nice one
    Seen them before. Some if the old school american mounts and scopes for the old yank rifles are a good match.
    If I get around to sorting some more 26mm rings for the parker hale an old (good) euro would be sweet in that too

    That could be worth a look at.
    I'm after a scope for a 303 sporter.
    Want something that's age appropriate for something from the 1960s.
    Not too sure what to look for or what brand, doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive

    This would probably be more well suited on a .22 rifle I probably had something with a bit more magnification in mind.
