I've recently picked up an early '70's Winchester 70 in .264 Win. Mag and a custom Mauser in .243 that need scopes. I'm debating on whether to take the time to find a period scope to go on the Winchester, or whether to buy a new one... and a new scope for the Mauser.
I'm looking for input on old vs. new for the Winchester; and information on new scopes.
I'm a diehard Nikon Monarch guy, but since I can't buy a Monarch for $300 anymore, and I have a $400 mental block on scope purchases, I'm looking at other manufacturers. I've been told a few things in recent weeks that I would like clarification on:
1. "A Burris Fullfield II has the same light transmission as a Monarch."
2. "Vortex has a better warranty than any other manufacturer."
3. "Sightron scopes are the best deal for the money."
Thanks in advance for your input.
