Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

I inherited my father's Remington 721 30-06 made around 1948. It is the only deer rifle that I own with a scope (Weaver K4). This rifle is from the time when Remington meant quality. The rifle is a tack driver with my reloads. The scope reticle is horrible to see except in daylight. I broke down and purchase a Bushnell Prime 3-9 with a lighted reticle. Waiting for Talley mounts to try it out. I'll be taking it along deer hunting this year. It will be like having a piece of my dad with me out in the woods.
Exact same deal on the pre 64 from today, it is my buddies grandfathers (RIP) he is taking it for a bucket list Elk hunt in Colorado this year. The scope that was on it was pure vintage, I could not even see thru it! It was compromised years ago. Thus the new Vortex. I would argue the parallax was not calibrated as well as it could have been but the glass was excellent. Overall a really nice scope.
