You have a Leupold Pioneer one of the first scopes with internal adjustments for windage & elevation.
If it's mint it could bring as much as $200 to a collector. Otherwise it's not a bad scope for the late 1940s but nowhere near as good as its contemporary, the Lyman Alaskan. The W&E have a lock ring so be sure to loosen that before adjusting the scope and then retighten them. Neat piece of history. |

An owner of classic rifles often choses to keep contemporary with the choice of scopes. Much to be said for a new all
stainless rifle with a fiberglass stock and bulletproof Kahles scope. They work very well as does a Makita electric plane but it will never replace a Stanley from the 1900s in the hearts & minds of those whose taste goes beyond pure functionality. Probably the same reason the 30-06 still outsells the 280 50 to 1. |
