Due to knee surgery I’ve been limited to activities so today boredom set in and was digging in drawers and cabinets and found this old scope and you can see the results; BBS + Scope = Awkward.

How are your groups at 500 yards?

Those old B&L scopes are great scopes. Be a shame not to use it.

You didn't have a 10-22 around to mount it on?

I didn't realize that our knees had so much to do with our way of thinking. Now I know why I flunked Algebra, I was trying to use my brain.

Lol, we better cut 4450 some slack. It wasn't the scope that is wrong, he just mounted the wrong rifle on it. Ooops!

I well remember hunting from a stand overlooking fields and/or into deep woods wishing I had a scope with higher magnification .... I never recall wishing I had less .... I have 3X9 Nikons mounted on our BBS 44 and 357 .... there have been times when I wished they were 4X12's or stronger ..

Doc says 2 weeks and I can go to range maybe I’ll take that big ugly and sight it in for fun.

Two weeks of laying around the house? Sounds like you are just trying to get out of standing over the sink to do the dishes, if you ask me. My,my,my.

wish we were still in South Dakota .... with that scope I'd bet you could see Estelline and I'd be happy to step outside our camper and wave
