I have really come to like 6x fixed power scopes. Very clear and lighter than an adjustable, and I have found that when hunting with a variable power scope, I'm generally set at the wrong power. No problems with the fixed power, and 6x is ideal for close and longer ranges.
The old Weavers are tough, very good glass and simple, and I'm looking forward to it. Probably mount it on the rifle I'm getting for my birthday in early August, an old - 1970's - Remington ADL .30-06 that I have laid away...
Any one else like older scopes?
I also have an old Colorado made Redfield 2 x 7 on my sporterized 98 Mauser in .308...it's a gem.
