Does anyone make a modern made vintage tubular rifle scope; so as instead of having to try and find actual vintage rifle scopes which are usually problematic and not all that good anyway?
Thank you.

    Yeah, I have one of those on my 1895 Marlin .45-70 CB with octagon barrel, very nice.

    Any others out there to take a look at, this would be for a mint vintage .22 target rifle?

    Where can you find Weaver 3/4" removable scope rings, as I cant seem to find them anywhere, dont they still make them?

    Thanks.

    Costs more but it is not going to the Communist Chinese.

    Yeah, that is overpriced; americans need to bring their prices down and quit being so greedy if they want us as consumers to buy more american made products.
    I have had about the same amount of problems with american stuff as with chinese or other foreign made products, so its really caveat emptor, and research the product first as they are all different with some being well made and some not so well made. I will say this however the chinese and other foreign countries are getting better all the time with their products so we as americans had better figure something out other than shipping work overseas.

    Black Wolf: if by removeable you mean "quick release" I can't help you. However...

    ..go to E-bay, type in 3/4" scope ring and near the bottom is a weaver set. They are not quick release, but can be removed. Joe

    EDIT:
    Can't answer the newly made question. 7/8" rings are not under all that much spring-tension, so old ones should work OK

    Yeah, I was looking into that, but was wondering why I cant find newly made ones anymore, did they stop making 3/4" rings or something?

    Also, what about the 4X power German replica Sniper Scopes that Cole Distributing was selling a while ago, something like that would work well and would look vintage, what is the scope tube size on those anyway, 1"?

    Edit:
    Okay thanks.

    Edit:
    The Gamo Vampir 4x32 Scope would work well, although not vintage it has a light and laser, nice for night work on pests that come out at after dark and it would look good on the rifle as well, I figure if going the high tech route otherwise the Malcolm tubular vintage scope would be good.
