    A fixed 4 power would be more in keeping with the rifle

    I've had Burris signature 3-10 on mine for a time and its been well used and trouble free.
    A second hand one would be fairly cheep.

    If you want it to be period correct scope, look for an older Kahles - 4x, 2-7, 3-9. Or as Mikee suggested, a VX5 2-10

    Jeez how long is a piece of string? Get one with a lookin peeper thing at the back that doesn’t smack you in the eye, a aimy thing at the front that helps you hit the target and a grow bigger/smaller adjustment can also be handy.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It has/had a what im guessing is a 1970's 4x32 Miroku, it seems ok but a little hard to get a clear pic, seems a bit foggy.. so yeah just getting a feel of some of you wiser and more experienced heads. cheers all for your view points and just to clarify is the piece of string used as a measure for distance?? i take it.
