Did you drill and tap the rifle I sold you?I just bought a new x6 Leupold for my '06, from Midway:
Leupold FX-3 Rifle Scope 1 Tube 6x 42mm Wide Duplex Reticle Matte
The Leupold FX-3 Rifle Scope offers a combination of higher power magnification and exceptional optical quality for those who prefer a fixed power...www.midwayusa.com
Came across one of those today. Remarkably solid, made in Rochester, NY.In agreement, the old Bausch and Lomb Balvar 4 power served me well. Simple and well made that took recoil and abuse, can't say the same about variable power scopes.
Even the Weaver Classic 4x is discontinued. Must not be much profit in making a simple durable scope that lasts a long time.
Have the tactical teds completely taken over with their high-power variable telescopes and reticles that you need a 400 page handbook and PHD in trigonometry to use?
I just wanted to grab a decent Leupold, Bushy or Weaver 4x to throw on my old Marlin 336 to hump around the woods this fall in my yearly quest to scare away an ungulate before I got a shot.
No dice. I see some Chinese garbage, but nobody worth a salt seems to be making them anymore.
Sad times. The first hunting rifle I bought was a Rem 700 '06 that was collecting dust in the funshop. The owner threw in a Weaver 4x. I killed several unsuspecting critters with that combo and like the young dipwad I was, sold it in favor of some new whizbang rifle/scope that I also no longer have and it was so meaningless, I don't even remember what it was.
Maybe a 2-7x32-ish can suffice. I'm just not really that interested in the extra weight or parallax issues variables can have.
Such is life, and "progress". If anyone has a line on a good fixed 4x, PM me, please.
This is a pretty cool place, isn't it.Well, I have a classic Leupold 4x on the way thanks to @cd90caprice!

What, are you selling memberships on QVC or something?This is a pretty cool place, isn't it.
They dont look right on a classic rifle.The Vortex and Primary Arms prism optics are terrific and most certainly not "garbage" despite being made in China (just like the phone I'm typing on now). The reticles are easy to use and intuitive. Prism optics are robust and allow those with astigmatism to have clear reticles. They're also etched so even if a battery dies you're still good to go. I also have an ACOG 3.5x, an Elcan 4x fixed, an Elcan 1x/4x, etc. Those options aren't significantly nicer optically, just more durable.
