Interesting. Sounds like it not only looks authentic, but used the old technology too.

I wouldn't give up on it so fast. Even modern scopes are bad sometimes. No warranty?

It came with a flinter that I had purchased. Lord knows how old it is. Its no big deal. I paid $80 for the T/C Hawken flinter, with the scope, and some shooting supplies.

You can always put it on a wall hanger.

Bronko, is there a name/manafacturer on the scope? I know Hi-Lux/Leatherwood made models like that. I wonder if it would be worth researching the possibility of repair.

Its a Tasco. You want it? You can have it to play with. But you will have to drill and tap your barrel to put it on. Say the word and it will be in the mail.

Thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't want to embarrass the Sisters. I would call Tasco's repair service and see if they will work on it. You may be able to get it fixed for $35.

Hey Semi, I'm sure the sisters would love that long tube!!! May even make them shoot better.

that'd be a cool scope to have on a sidelock. Whats wrong with it? just not holding place or?

MD I have no idea what the problem is. Installation was good & scope seemed solid in the mounts. ZIt very well may be a parallex issue???? Maybe one of the lens are loose, who knows.
If anyone wants it, send me a PM. They can have it for the cost of shipping. They can either have it mounted or super glue it to a wall hanger as previously suggested.

Knock out the lenses and use it as a blow gun.
