Dixie sells a couple brass scopes, although I dunno the quality of it now, the older ones were made by Tasco in Japan. The mounts they sell with them are pretty crude tho.

MVA sells some pretty expensive scopes...

If you google Malcolm scope, you'll get a bunch of other sources for it.

I've got a Navy Arms brass 4X 32.5" in brass mounts on my TC Hawken 36 cal barrel.   Great for varmint and predator hunting with old eyes, and its very good quality.   Seems like they sold for around $250 way back when.   No idea if the NA's are even still available or where to buy one though.

Dixie has offered a similar model for years (and a half length version), but I don't believe those are made by Navy Arms.   I only say that because at one time I think they also offered the Navy Arms along side the one they still sell, and the NA was a little more money than theirs.   Not sure though and didn't keep any old DGW catalogs when I stopped dealing with them years ago.

One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
