Dang it all---this is addictive.
Alright--I am convinced to some degree, well at least to the point of examining another solution.
I like good, sharp controls.
The pro-staff seems to fit but most find it not a user friendly scope---sighting and such.
I'm am highly impressed with the Prostaff. In fact they are 10 times better than the Leupold I just bought.
And yet it is not a Nikon you have on your Model 60, you have posted in a picture here on an other .
And while you like Nikon and there is nothing wrong with them.
Others like Leupold, as as William mentioned a Leupold I brought up that Leupold makes the small adjustable scope in three forms of Rifle man and Var X1 and 2. After all this is a plinking and small game hunting rifle and a $400 scope is not really needed.
Personally I like the Weaver scopes (the K and V lines). I think they are 100% the quality of the Leupold Var X II stuff at 75 to 80% the cost.
I also like that they use a 38mm objective instead of a 40mm and it looks right on some of the smaller framed rifles like Rimfire, Pistol length and the micro Mauser actions.
I own quite a few. I would not scoff at other brands, I own Bushnell, Leupold, old Redfield, and a Simmons 44 mag 3-9 scope that is on a marlin 918 22LR, So far not a bad scope for under $40. The Simmons we mounted on a rifle for my friends kid to shoot and since we were shooting at 100 yards he too wanted to shoot were we were.
A few minutes of setting up some sand bags and he was sighting it in. The combo of rifle, scope, Remington 40 grain golden bullets, and kid had groups of a 1/2 Dollar. Then he was off turning clay birds onto pieces and those quarter sized peices into dust all over the range.
I do not think the maker matters in your case William, I think what matters is the shape of the scope so you can easily see through it and keep your head down on the stock.
After saying that I went to the Remington website.
The speed master of today does not look like what I rememeber as a kid in the 80's shooting one.
I remember the brass shield that tossed rounds down the sleeve of a left handed friend.
But I did not remember the Monte Carlo high comb Stock. I remember more of a standard stock, highly polished and dark walnut with the fluer de leis checkering pattern like an 870 Wing master of the time. The tall sights on the new rifle too I do not rember. I remember quality sights just lower on the rifle.
Having stuck a Huge scope on a little rifle once, it looked top heavy. Worked fine, just looked strange with a huge bell and a skinny barrel.
