I missed the point that your K3 had a 1 inch barrel. If you like the looks of your 3/4 mount better, have you tried a Weaver J2.5? Also has a 3/4 tube with about a 1" eye piece. The eye relief is fairly long and it is reasonably bright. I posted a photo of mine here: http://www.kragcollectorsas...

Interesting look on that 440 scope. I have to wonder if the rear location of the cross hairs and adjustment make it more or less susceptible to parallax error? A good match with the cheek piece will minimize the effect any way. "(Personally, I don't think there has been an attractive Scope on a...

AS old offensive icons like Uncle Ben's and Cream of Wheat fall by the way side less offensive images emerge?!? Never heard of cranberry beans before, they look like pinto beans. Will see soon if they taste different.

Dick,
Good to hear you are OK and your place is not part of the smoke plume.

We see something like that in the late spring or early summer. Saharan dust blows across the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The first time I noticed it I was on a bus from Texas to Phoenix, thought it was the result of pollution and I got away from it in Phoenix. Little did I know. This California smo...

You still failed the squirrel test! Haircut you say. Wow, I have not had a real one since January or February. My barber was going to ride in the San Antonio rodeo about that time so I may have missed the February one. Not that it makes any difference now. Once in a while I grab some hair cut it off...

Knute, since you brought it up in another post about the small bear. I will relate my story, I was care taking on a ranch in the hill country right after I got married. My employers would give me one or two doe tags each year. Well I shot a doe that looked pretty big in the scope. It was only 20 yar...

"Ancestry DNA" sends an 'update" that makes me 70% Scottish, 17% Irish, and 13% British, which is blarney. This repudiates the previous results that proportionately accounted for my known Scottish, French, Norman, Bavarian, and Saxony ancestors." Quote In a previous post you clai...

Figured that some of the members that have "scout scopes" would have chimed in by now. A couple of the advantages will be they are fast on target, and in your case with what I think will be a single shot, easier loading and unloading without the scope in the way. The disadvantages I can th...

You are not wrecking a pristine 96 carbine, so no one here will get mad. Most of us are getting old and help with a scope is understood. Looks like the S&K is a new design. If they can provide more pictures, it looks solid and you decide to go for it send us a report. We are always looking for t...
