Looks like a vintage Weaver J scope on it.

The only id on the scope is B4...Weaver El Paso Tx. Mounted in a Weaver tip off 22 3/4". It works well, adjusted it for first time in years last month. Most recent shooting at 60 yards. Spot on.

The J series was before the B series. Looks like its a mid-60's or later scope. Nice.

I had an unusual experience. I took the rifle down for cleaning and gave it a good scrubbing. When I reassembled it, it would not fire. After several attempts to get it going, I took it down again. When I took out the firing pin, lo and behold, it was bent! WTH? No clue why, but a little plier work and all was good. How do you bend a firing pin while cleaning? Oh well, several shots later, I am a happy plinker again. This gun continues to amaze me. It works so much better than I do. I know you have guns like this. Isn't it cool?
