Re: Very old scope

Thanks guys.It's a little different than gaffers 338, especially the mounts. BTW, it's 18 3/16" long and I'm guessing about 8 power. Actually has pretty good glass, clear and sharp. Do these things have any collector value?

Wow, that's really cool. I've been looking at some older optics to sit on a lever gun that I have, and this is one of the coolest I've seen. Very cool!

Re: Very old scope

Update. I had someone from another forum say they thought it was a Stevens 331, circa 1911, and 3.5 power. Hmmm...now I guess I need a rifle from that era to mount it on.
