I agree on the looks versus performance, but for me, performance wins out in the end. I honestly think that if someone re-introduced a steel tube 3/4" 22 scope with modern optics, it would be a great seller. Unfortunately, the scope market is going more and more to the tactical style. Even finding a gloss scope to match some of my vintage 22s is tough, now.

My vintage Weavers can’t match modern designs and glass. The coatings they used turns milky after 40 years. They might have the clarity but not the contrast or brightness. I looked through both of these scopes in my living room at dusk. It was very dark and the Weaver was almost useless.
