[QUOTE="jbronner13, post: 2632747, member: 123550"] We live in a great time right now (maybe not from a price standpoint) for quality and variety when it comes to ammo and components. I love taking these older, well built rifles and getting the most out of them with the quality ammo we have available today. The one thing I would really love to see though (though it’s not very likely) is for a resurgence of American manufactured scopes. Leupold makes some of the finest scopes in the world, Nightforce as well. But I would love to see some no frills, hunting focused, solidly built scopes like they had back in the 60’s and 70’s when Redfield, Leupold, Burris and Weaver were all competing for hunter’s business. I have such a love for the look of the old Weaver variables and their steel construction. I love that James Brion over in Montana started his company refurbishing all those great old El Paso made Weaver scopes and putting modern lens coatings on them, such a great idea and I have bought 3 scopes from him and old rings and bases as well. The blend of old and new is kinda neat to do. I wish my wife shared the same sentiments when she sees packages arriving at the house 😂. [/QUOTE]
