Which gun to sell

[King Cobb]

Oh the scope works fine, its just a fixed scooe and not as nice as the 4x12 Leupold VS3 on the 270.

Edgar its a double lever. You are the first one who has told me it is value added. The dealer i boight it from said it was the reason it wasnt more expensive.

The "Bear Cub" IS a Kollmorgen unless it is a later Redfield Bear Cub, which is the same scope. Leave it on there. It is now a "vintage" scope.

Oh no worries its staying on. Acvording to the serial nimber it is a late 40s or early 50s Bear Cub

That was a lucky break for you. The Jaeger side mount was a copy of the G&H except in aluminum. Just about anything G&H is a plus. Only problen is finding rings if you're changing scope tube sizes, from 7/8" to 1", etc.
William, I have an Alaskan on a '57 M70 .257, and it's just too small a field of view for a long shot. Looks a bit odd too.

In name only, not in glass quality.

I'd certainly agree with Edgar on the G&H sidemount being value added. If my younger brother ever decides to give me our vintabe family Sauer .30-06 Mauser with dbl set triggers I'd have that mount put on in a heartbeat.

Don't sell either ! I sold a Mastertone banjo once and never got over it. Finally bought another one and paid twice as much as I sold mine for. It'll never be "MY" Mastertone, but I feel better now!

G&H mount and a Lyman peep is a great set up....I use peep sights now more than scopes even with older eyes....A Redfield sourdough front sight or a regular bead front sight filed square is a great addition...square is less affected by sunlight in my opinion....

Griffin and Howe side mounts are very versatile. I have one great Springfield sporter with three sighted in scopes in Griffin and Howe tops. I carry the two spares in leather scope cases, just in case.

Take the scope off the newer Winchester and sell the rifle. The scope won't add that much value (about 25% of the cost of the scope when it was new) you can keep it for future use or sell it separately.
