Rant
I grew up using my Dad's Model 70 Winchester with a Weaver post and crosshair scope. Since I got some good news from the tax lady and I'll have some extra ching in my pocket I figured I'd look for a low powered scope with that reticle. Can't find one anywhere. Why in the hell did that setup ever go out of style? They were great for hunting up here in the North.

I bought one from CDNN about twelve years ago with that reticle. It’s high powered though and bulky.

Ever think about sending the old Weaver in for an overhaul?

My brother has the rifle now. The old Weaver was from the 50's I think and started fogging up on him so he changed it out. I don't know if he still has it.
I got an e-mail back from Leupold and they said to call their custom shop. I did and the young man there said that they aren't putting custom reticles in the model I'm looking at yet, but If I send one in made after 1993 they'll do a reticle change for $200. I'm considering it. |
