Old 3/4" tube finally got "Yellow" and blurry and drove around town for a new scope.
The old style "clam shell" mount that fits in the rifles groves is no longer in any of the sporting goods stores.
They all have the new 1"-1 1/4" diameter tube scopes, plus these need rings and a base to be mounted.
I don't think I will want to drill and tap my "Classic" little .22 rifle, so off to the net I went.
Finally started to find the style that fit the "Old" .22 rifles but they have a new price tag on them that made the $9 Tasco look like a heck of a bargain, back when I got it.
I sure miss my old weaver that died many years ago, that came with the 1960 rifle, that was all quality and fit the small rifle.
However, even Weaver has a large tube on it's .22 scopes now.
Why they think a scope for a 30-06 is needed on a little .22, is beyond me.
I might just go with iron sights than having to be forced to put a HUGE scope on it that cost $250 or more just to shoot paper and tin cans with the kids.
