WTB Help me scope my 1960 Savage '06

[Newtosavage]

Saw this rifle on a rack yesterday and couldn't lay off. So old it says patent applied for on the receiver LOL. Serial number makes it a 1960 production, I'm told. Shot it today, and it shot well enough that I want to put a decent scope on it, but I also want something that suits the rifle. Thinking a gloss blue Leupold would look nice on it.

Let me know what you have. Thanks!

I've got a couple of the old Redfield Widefield 2-7's, gloss black finish.

Mmm, thanks but I've never been a fan of those widefields. That's kinda what this gun has on it now. I guess American hunters went through a "TV view" phase with rifle scopes in the 70's and early 80's.

 

[Camo]

Yeah, they were kinda traditional in my family back in the day, not sure why.

 

[Newtosavage]

Anyone have a gloss VX-2 laying around by chance?

 

[spc7669]

I don’t, but I like your choice on that gun.

I have a weaver k-4 if your interested

Oddly enough, I was looking at a clean K4 this afternoon. For this rifle, because it's proven itself at 300 yards already, I think I want a bit more power. But a K4 would be appropriate for the period, no doubt.

Well I have a weaver K6 as well but thats on my rem 721 in 270. Classic sheep/mule deer rifle

Got a really cool old Weaver K4 laying around here, it would be perfect for a .22 or even a .30-30 maybe....probably wouldn't put it on an '06. Bausch and Lomb Balvar maybe? They had some nice crisp optics in that time period....sweet rifle by the way!

Thanks! I'll take a look at those B&L's

I have a very nice, almost perfect condition gloss Weaver K6-1 Micro-Trac scope I would part with. Made in USA. I believe this would be a perfect addition to that rifle. Highly unlikely to find one in nicer condition. Let me know if it interests you. BTW, I compared the optical quality of this Weaver to a newer Leupold and it was quite comparable, I could see very little, almost no difference even in dusk to almost dark conditions. Speaks volumes to the quality of these older Weaver scopes.
