A USPS box came to the door yesterday, courtesy of a certain r/r type down in the Nebraska buttes.
Customs didn't monkey with it too bad from what I can see. Might have had something to do with the 11 lbs of packing tape and foam padding Hogger put around it.
Cool factor is extremely high on this. I can't think of any kid who wouldn't be proud to have this on his Glenfield 20, or Glenfield 60.
It's mostly japanned brass, except for the ocular "recoil" ring, and the turret caps, and the mount.
Mount is steel, and a direct copy of the old Mossberg 4-M series mount. There is a cross hair levelling stop on the r/h side of the mount.
Ocular section is a dead ringer for those found on the 3/4" tube rimfire scopes Dave Bushnell was importing in the very early sixties.
Optics are surprisingly clear for a 15MM objective scope.
The only mark I could find on the entire thing is a dent in the brass screw-in sunshade. It doesn't appear to affect the image at all. Scope looks un-mounted and n.i.b. other-wise.
I'm a sucker for these oldsters- still have the marlinitis/weaver bug. Acquisitions have been low of late, due to the hyper inflated prices the Kenna era guns and accessories now command.
There it is next to a 300-A Marlin 4 X 32MM. From what I've been reading, this is the scope that was packed with many a 336. Sort of suspect there may have been a Glenfield version of this as well. Both scopes superseded the Micro-Vue line...
If I ain't too bushed after work tonight, I'll settle her into a pneumatic .177. and see if I can't get her to group. Factory set reticle focus wasn't all that far off what I require~ probably set by another far-sighted old geezer
Big thanks to Steve for getting this over here!
Regards,
Doc Sharptail
