Good Keen Man, those older Weavers are great scopes. My favorite scope of all time was an old one like you have a chance of getting with a regular crosshair. I have shot many deer with it on my old Marlin 336SC in .35 Remington. Alas, it has finally, bit the dust and fogs up badly, to many miles and to many snowy, icy winter hunts I guess. There is a place that refurbishes them but the cost is high and no gaurentee. So I'll have to look elsewhere. If you can get that scope for $50-$60 USD I feel it's a great deal. If you don't want it please let me know. I would love to buy it from you or from the seller. If you wanted to work out a trade on an H&R barrel and if is possible to ship a barrel to New Zealand let me know, perhaps we can work something out that way also....<><.... :grin:
I sent you the following joke in a PM but see that you have not opened your PM yet, I will therefore post it here for you and the other members as well. Those New Zealand women are beautiful but tough!!!
Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.
Terry had married a woman from Croatia, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed to be done at their house. He said that it took a couple of days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.
Jimmy had married a woman from Australia. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results, but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.
The third man had married a New Zealand girl. He boasted that he told here that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye - enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the dishwasher, and call a landscaper.
God Bless Those New Zealand Women....<><.... :-D
