The scope is a Swift. About their $130 model. I just ordered a set of DNZ mounts for it. I can't deal with those see thru rings
Great rifle, bad mounts and I don't know squat about Swift rifle scopes. You're doin' the right thing gettin' rid of the see thru mounts, your cheek needs to be down on the stock, not reared up like an ol' gobbler tryin' to see over a palmetto patch. I'm sure others can and will sing the praises of a see thru mount and I respect their opinion. No see thru mounts allowed on any of my rifles, besides that I'm too old to use iron sights anyway :crip .

See thru mounts were popular back in the 90s. I had them on my 3006 when I dog hunted, and before I knew better. I Traced the gun to 1992. There's not a mark on it. I'm sure the scope is that old. I will re glass it next year when I get some play money recooped.
GOOD, hell yes. BAD, nope. Ugly? in the eye of the beholder, for ME those see thru mounts & big scope on a small/handy rifle, YES they are ugly not the rifle. The most shocked by unexpected rifle accuracy I've ever seen was Gunboy shooting a BLR takedown in 308. A 1.5x5 or 2x7 smaller sized scope would look better, be handier, & give you all the magnification you will ever need, IMO. +1 on the DNZ's. Browning & Savage less traditional levers are about the only ones I agree need a scope to take advantage of the caliber. Good find. :rock_on

That is funny as heck, but pretty much sums it up. Thanks for the laugh :rock_on
