I wanted to add a long tube brass scope to my CB when I got it and found that my eyes had aged. I found out that Dixie Gun Works has them, but I was told that the mounts were not very good so I passed on the scope. I did not think it would look good to put a contemporary scope on the CB. I recently opted for a Marbels tang site. I found that I can shoot the CB much, much better with the tang site. I'll check to see if I still have a Dixie catalog at work. I'll report back.

Here is the link I found for an 18 1/2" brass scope from dixie. My 2001 catalog also shows part number EP0008 which is a 32 1/2" long scope, but I could not find it on the web sight. Good luck.
