I've got a Tasco World Class that came on my .243 Weatherby Vanguard when I bought it from a guy in about 2000 if not before. The rifle and scope are still the most accurate I own.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

children..
I still shoot a pre-war (WWII) German Ajakenkroll scope. 7.5 fixedX55mm with a very heavy post. 80+ year old scope, refurbished in 1970. Hell of a low light scope.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Mid-70’s Kahles Super 6 S2 mounted on a ‘77 Weatherby Mark V.....that tragically burned up in the great flood of 2007.

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

Have a fixed 8x56 Schmidt &Binder that I bought in the late 80's. Scope came apart on the inside several years ago, sent it back to them and they completely rebuilt it for a quater of the price of a new one.

Redfield wideview. My mother bought it and the 742 woodmaster for my dad for their 1st anniversary in 72’. I still take it out a couple times a year.

My grandfather gave me my 30-30 back in 78, I think. It stil has the same scope that was on it when he gave it to then (took it to the range a few months back and shot it for the 1st time in about 25 years, and it's still dead on)
I got dad's Sako FinnWolf .308 when he passed away and from the little research I have done on it, I think it is a '64 vintage rifle with the original Sako scope and ringss.

I have a Kahles fixed 8 56mm that I’ve hunted with for the last 22-23 years. It’s a 80s model I’m guessing maybe older but it’s rarely off unless I do something really stupid.
