Technically,  4 members had conversed in this gun before it went your way.

Great gun,  must be a great feeling to make a dream come true

Does this have anything to do with that phone call from a few months ago?

As a matter of fact it does! Same gun

Thanks, Dan.  Makes me feel good that I played a role in this.

And I thank you too!!!!!

Just got an original Redfield gloss base and rings for it and I have a gloss finish older Leupold on standby.  She’ll be 100% period correct!

If you want to see period correct, I'll take a picture of the scope set up on mine...there are no adjustments on the scope...it's just a tube containing the optics...the windage and elevation adjustments take place on the mount...

The scope is a Baush & Lomb BALvar 8....2.5-8X 1950s vintage

I bought my first 88 in 1968 when I was 16 years old.  I paid $144 for it, but the shop owner threw in a Weaver 4x scope with mounts and rings.  I've never seen one with an adjustable scope mount.

Wow that’s cool!!!

The scope is spring loaded in the mount and since all the adjustments are in the mount, you can remove the scope and switch it with other rifles having the same mount....zero doesn't vary once the mount/scope combination is zeroed on a particular rifle....or so B&L says..
