[QUOTE="Jbar280, post: 2636941, member: 108434"] Hi everyone. I was recently gifted a couple of cool 1950’s vintage Mauser rifles that were owned by my great uncle Bill. One is a .30-338 and the other is a 7mm Mag. He lived in California and used them to hunt deer in CA and Elk in Colorado and other places. Anyway, neither gun retains the original scope so I was thinking to either get a vintage scope or probably a more modern but appropriate scope like a fixed power Leupold or Weaver with a gloss finish. It doesn’t look like gloss finishes are available for the most part these days. Anyway, I thought I would throw the question out to the forum. Any recommendations? On a side note, here is a pic of the guns (.30-338 has the maple stock). A pic of my uncle bill with an elk and the 7mm and a pic of the receipt for the .30-338. Gun smithing was Sam May of Apex rifles fi both. How bout those prices! -Jim [ATTACH type="full"]400482[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]400483[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]400484[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
