Rifle Scopes Rimfire scopes from the late 80s for nylon 66

[rawdeal77]

I was digging through the gun closet at my parents house and came across the Remington nylon 66 that my grandfather gave me for my 10th birthday in 1987.

As a kid, I remember always wishing the gun had a scope on it, so I wanted to see it done before I pass the gun to my son. And yes, I am aware of the potential issues with mounting a scope on the nylon 66 in its tendency to not hold zero.

Notwithstanding, I'd like to use a period-correct scope (from the late 80s) that would have normally been used on this firearm. I was thinkin maybe a 2-7x japanese made tasco, but I truly have no clue.

Any suggestions, prefereably specific models or particular ways to tell they are from this era?

Also, what about rings?--I'm guessing weaver tip-offs.

Since you know about the scoping issues with the Nylon 66, you are ahead of the game.

I would look for one of the older Weaver K-4 scopes or even a Weaver K-3. They would be period perfect for that rifle and they have good glass. They can usually be found for less than $ 75.00 shipped. Check rimfirecentral for a used one.

I have an older Winchester model 75 that I have a K-4 scope on. It is a great squirrel rifle.
