My wife has a 181 series mini-14. She likes her "vintage" rifle but wanted a scope. We played around with a couple of side-saddle mounts but she just could not like them. Finally came across a complete, lightly used "vintage" Federal Ordnance weaver base that replaces the rear sight. I had some old weaver rings and a crappy scope. Put it all together and she is digging it.
For Mother's Day I want to get her a "good" scope. I am torn between finding a quality used Leupold, El Paso Weaver, Redfield, or go with any of the modern equivalents. She really likes the vintage stuff, whether it be guns (her favorites are her 3-screw Ruger Single Six and her Remintion pump .22 if that tells you), furniture, art, and her antique collections.
Any good period scopes to reccomend to keep an eye out for or just get a good new one? Oh, 2 bills it my budget.
