In 1963 I bought from a friend a Remington Model 700, 26 inch barrel in .222 caliber. He was a paper puncher and the rifle had a 15 power scope mounted on the rifle.
I didn't know one scope from another, but as I remember, it was about 12 inches long and had some kind of springs attached as part of the mounting system. The result was that after each shot you had to pull the scope back to the rear about an inch to prepare for the next shot.
My memory is not so good anymore and I was just wondering if any of you folks had any knowledge of such a scope or who the manufacturer might have been.
Of course, I sold the rifle later (like a fool). It probably would have been worth some bucks today.
Thanks for any info.

I consider all the folks on THR as friends that I haven't met yet.
