Last fall when my grandfather passed away we inherited his old Remington 742 chambered in 6mm Remington with a weaver mount. Had some junk red dot on it (dont remember the make) and im looking to put a quick eye relief or low power scope on it so it can be a good walking around gun. Any suggestions?

3-9 Redfield Widefield on JB Holden Ironsighters is early 70's old school. Of course the Redfield would be fogged up.

Mine has a Leupold Straight 6. Late 70s put on by my father.
Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

Quite a few deer fell to that scope, between my great uncle and pawpaw... good times. My BAR 06 had Holdens holding a 4X Weaver. I killed one 425 yards, resting on a fence post with that set up. By far best shot I ever made on a deer.
