Thread: mounting scope on a 303 sporter

Had a Pecar in 1967. Bought with the intention of fitting to my 308 Forester. 26mm rings unavailable at that time so got a refund and bought a Weaver K4. Optically a lesser animal but cheaper than the Pecar. (26 pounds IIRC for the Pecar, 18 for the K4.)
And thank goodness for that as although the Pecar 4x81 was one of the scopes of the day the moving reticle would have driven me nuts. My Forester did have windage adjustable rings so I could have minimised any offset of the reticle. Elevation may have lucked somewhere in the centre.

Still have a Nickel Supra 4x81 26mm which was another scope of the day but not as popular as the Pecar. IMO a better scope as it has image moving and diopter ajustment on the eyepiece, something that a lot of brands have only adopted in recent years. Only downside of the Nickel v Pecar is the Nickel has an alloy tube. My old Weaver (steel tube) took a terrific hammering with quite visible dents on the tube.
