FIXED 5 POWER OR FIXED 6 POWER

WHILE I AM WAITING FOR AN ANSWER ON MY 338/35 WHELEN QUESTION, HERE IS ANOTHER. MY DAD USED TO TOTE AROUND A BROWNING .348 LEVER ACTION. THAT GUN HAD THE SWEETEST NEATEST CRYSTAL CLEAREST SCOPE IN THE WORLD! (AT LEAST I THOUGHT SO). ANYWAYS, IT WAS EITHER A FIXED 5 OR FIXED 6 POWER SCOPE AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE SINCE. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF SUCH A SCOPE? A FIXED 5 OR 6 POWER? I TRULY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BRAND IT WAS.........DOES ANYONE MAKE A FIXED 5 OR 6 NOW-A-DAYS AND WHOM MIGHT THEY BE?
(NO, THE 348 BROWNING IS SADLY LONG GONE)
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND INPUT.

    Midway carries a few brands may be a place to start looking http://www.midwayusa.com/ebrowse.exe/browse?TabID=10&Categoryid=15277&categorystring=657***700***11392***11396***15272***

    they also make 10x+ power however your going to need a pocket book much bigger than mine.

    I also really like the fixed power scopes I have a x2 that im not sure about and 2 4x's that I absolutely love, one is on my 20 gauge and the other is on my .22

    I have three fixed power scopes mounted on hunting rifles...A 6x Burris on a titanium Remington, in 7-08, An 8x Swarovski on a Ruger 77 tang, in .300 w/m, and a 6x Nichols (midway, years ago) on a Ruger 77 light weight tang, in 7-08.. The all seem to be clearer, and sharper than the variable power scopes I've tried.. I like them...

    I'm pretty much a believer in fixed power scopes but its hard to guess what you used to have

    A lot of manufacturers have made them over the years, and still do today, so it will not be as simple as saying, "Ah, only Weaver ever made one like that." IOR Valdada makes a fine one, but Burris and leupold also do. Those and Nikon would be my top picks.

    Weaver, Nikon, Leupold and Burris (among others ) all still make fixed 6x scopes.
    Burris makes a 6x50mm for Hunter Benchrest use that is exceptionally bright and clear.
    Leupold makes fixed 6x in some different size objectives. They are great scopes and rock solid for durability.

    Redredbone, I recently picked up a Weaver K-6 scope(6x) at gun show for 50 bucks and i could'nt be happier with this old workhorse. They (fixed 6 power)are still made by several manufactures but an older Weaver could save you a few dollars. Dave
