Period scope for a vintage "Rifleman's Rifle"

[gregintenn]

I've had this model 70 Featherweight in 243 Winchester for a number of years now. A week or two ago, I found a period scope and mounts I thought would look good on it. It is a Bausch and Lomb BalVay 8a. It is 2.8x8 power, and has a tapered crosshair reticle. These scopes are very clear and bright. Their marketing ploy was an interesting one. The adjustments are in the scope. The rings have a plunger setup, so that once zeroed on a particular rifle, it can be removed and reattached without altering zero. In effect, you can use the same scope on multiple guns just as quick as you can pull it off one and snap it on another. After a bit of difficulty due to my ignorance, I have it mounted and am quite pleased with it.
