I was digging through the gun closet at my parents house and came across the
Remington nylon 66 that my grandfather gave me for my 10th birthday in 1987.
As a kid, I remember always wishing the gun had a scope on it, so I wanted to see it done before I pass the gun to my son. And yes, I am aware of the potential issues with the nylon 66's tendency to allow the scope to move from its zero. . Notwithstanding, I'd like to use a period-correct scope (from the late 80s) that would have normally been used on this firearm. I was thinkin maybe a 2-7x japanese-made tasco, but I truly have no clue. Any suggestions, prefereably specific models or particular ways to tell they are from this era? Also, what about rings?--I'm guessing weaver tip-offs. |

One of the best vintage 22 scopes is a Weaver V-22 3-6 You can find them consistently on Ebay. They sold for $22 in 1970. The V-22 has a large eye box. It comes with rings. that fit the 7/8" tube.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I have a Weaver Marksman 3/4" 4X WIDEFIELD (!!) model complete with tip-off rings on it.
like this.....
It's got plain crosshairs and has some black garbage ( looks like a spider or something...) hanging down right at the edge of the view at 11:00 o'clock.....it ain't in the way, however.....
I'll give it to you for postage..........
