    This came up on the old Nylon 66 Forum awhile back. A member posted that this scope was packaged with his Nylon.

    I have an early Remington Nylon 66 and was wanting to put a small scope on it that would be period correct. The last model of this was made before I was born so hoping some of you more established people could help me on what brands/models to look for.
    I have a Leupold from the '80s if interested with rings also? I removed it from a 264wm mod70 pre'64 ('61 to be exact).

    Just so happened to peruse by a pawn shop and think I got what I needed. $20 out the door for a Weaver C4 and Weaver 22 tip-off mount. Needs to be cleaned but everything seems to be in working order and period correct AD588966-6B9C-4DEE-86A1-04ABF8BF9692.jpeg

    I just put a K-4 on my Ruger M77 RSI International Mannlicher in 7x57, this was on one of my fathers' rifles many years ago. Once I get an adapter base or taller rings I plan to switch to something a bit more modern. But it does fit the rifle and looks good, dings and all!

    I have a Bushnell from the 60s with the dual reticles. 3-9x I think and you twist a second ring, near the zoom and a thick center post pops up as the lower leg of the crosshair for quick shots.

    Its really pretty cool and I'll post up a photo later.

    I bought a Redfield "WideField" 3x-9x back in 1972 and loved it. It worked for years. Much later, when it leaked a bit of Nitrogen, a Friend took it off to send-back for repair. Somehow Friend lost it, I then went to Leupolds, and have been fairly happy. But, if buying a Leupold, buy a large objective lens model. The compacts are fine until the light decreases around late afternoon. Then they are useless. The larger objective lens Leupolds work well in any light level. I still want a Zeiss fixed 2.5 !

    Leupold. Redfield. Weaver.

    Leupold owned/built Redfield scopes up until very recently.

    I’ve got a Redfield 3-9 on a 22LR, glass is pretty awesome consider it’s a $150 scope

    The brand was sold to Academy
