I discovered one of these in a box of "junk" I bought couple years ago.
It is VERY VERY BADLY RUSTED. CRYIN SHAME, These are well respected scopes.
Lyman is 12-13 miles from where I sit. But seem to remember they dont and havent had anything to do with these for decades.
Not really looking to restore this as it would need a new tube but... might be a nice addition.
The glass is good turrets work fine. Cleaning lenses resulted is a pretty clear view!!
(These are 7/8" arent they? ). I have a box a mounts and pretty sure I have 7/8" stuff.
I decided to slend some time with this and took a wire wheel to the scale. (YES BAD ACALE AND PITTING) I changed out to a soft wheel that dosent tear flesh off fingers cause ya touched it... Id love ta dump it in evapo rust but know it would be very bad.
