I have 2 different questions. First around '77 I bought a brand new Sako L461 Heavy Barrel Varmint Rifle in .223. It was set up by a gunsmith who mounted a 10X Redfield scope (serial # A16232) which has the parallax built into the center of the scope by the adjustment knobs. I have not used the rifle in 25 years, just stored in a cabinet and looks like new. The problem is the scope is now foggy when you look threw it.
I want to sell the rifle and wonder is it worth fixing the scope or just selling like it is and let someone else fix it. Or just replace the scope with a good used one. It also has a Harris bi pod on it and Sako scope mounts. After seeing what these items are going for on ebay I think I might get more if I sell everything separate.
My next question is on the mounts. Since I had the gunsmith install the mounts I don't remember much after 30 years. The rear mount appears to be adjustable. It has large screw on each side and appears that the hole may be elongated. Like I said it worked when I got it and I never touched it and can't remember if that was the kind of mount. I haven't seen anything like these when checking out mounts. But maybe I am not looking in the right place.
So should I sell as is, break it up or replace the scope and sell complete.
