Anything but BSA. Friends don't let friends buy BSA....

For low end decent scopes, I have had good luck with Simmons

Simmons 8-Point Rifle Scope 3-9x 40mm Truplex Reticle Matte Black

As easy on the wallet as it is on the eye, the 8-Point riflescope offers more high-quality features than any other in its class. All models come with...

I agree.

Maven is having a Father’s Day sale, 20%. Anyone have any of their stuff? I really need a set of bino’s and they are American made and seem to be well liked. Still nervous because I’ve never seen one in person.

I got this Bushnell scope from an old local gun store for $20 tax included. It was a few hours ago right at closing time. The "warranty" card said 1968 so it probably matches the old .22.
I saw it in his showcase...no price...after showing me some nice scopes, I think he was glad to be rid of it!
I figured being old the optics were probably good...couldn't beat the price. I'll site it in tomorrow.

I have had good luck with Simmons thru the years but now prefer Nikon even though they no longer make them I have 5 waiting to mount on something. Bought them on close out saved over 500 dollars each

I have a Nikon Rimfire II with the 150 yard BDC reticle mounted on a 10/22. It's probably one of the best rimfire scopes I've ever used. Generous eyebox and very clear optically. I too was disappointed Nikon discontinued them. I'd love to have another for a Tikka T1x in .17HMR

I also wish Zeiss continued making the Conquest 3-9x40 scopes that you used to buy for $399 on sale. One of the best scopes for the money.

Those old warranty cards are funny to see nowadays. They are from the bygone BI (before internet) era. A year ago i wanted to send my Freedom Arms revolver to the factory for repair. They said they had no record of my gun. I then found the warranty card in the case (i forgot to send it in,) sent it to them, and they honored the warranty. Bought gun in the 80s!

Wondering if someone had a scope mount for sale like this one (which is cracked).
I believe it's called a 3/8 .22 mount.
I measured as shown, rifle and scope dovetail are the same.
Anything similar would be okay, taller or offset.
I could always use a 7/8" scope diameter ring mount if I have to.
Thanks for checking.
