Heading in to Dallas this morning to pick it up. They have a banged up one in .300 Savage I am going to look at as well, but looks overpriced for someones ex-truck gun. I prefer scopes for deer hunting and sighting in at the range with my bad eyes, so the .32 can stay unmolested now. 3 more calibers to go ;) . Pics:

Hey texassako,

I can remember when I said "only three calibers to go". :lol: Let me tell you that it won't stop at three. :shock: You have the bug and the relief is to buy, buy, buy and then the Mrs. says bye, bye, bye. :lol:

Regards,

"Buy, buy, buy until the Mrs. says bye, bye, bye." :lol: :lol: Great fun for sure!

Which ones are you looking for? I'm about to post a couple I noticed on GB, at least one looks like a real sleeper.

I saw those you put up. I think a .25 will be next unless I come across a .300 Savage with a scope that I like. I noticed in the auctions that it is quite a bit cheaper to find one with a sight/scope than finding one later.

Indeed, good observation. And, so far I've done well getting them as a package, as the scopes have been very clear and useable but if not - the old 1" scopes are rather cheap if you are not too picky - the mounts are another story entirely as you well know.
