I happened upon this on the Broker. Wasn't looking for one, but it was located about 3 miles from the house. A Mossberg No. M4 Rifle Scope and it is all there and optically functional. I haven't mounted it to a rifle so can't be sure it can be adjusted yet. I'm cautiously optimistic it will though. $16.
Early version with patant pending instead of a patant date. Late 1930's. When I saw it my first thought was it would look right on my Stevens Favorite model of 1896. That rifle is accurate enough to warrant a scope but I'm not really keen on drilling it. That and the scope is way too modern for the rifle. I think I'll stay with my original thought and put a peep sight on the Steven's.
Now I have to buy an appropriate rifle to put under it. I'm thinking maybe a Mossberg 45 B or C would be appropriate. What do you think I should look for? Here is a 45B.
