Weaver K3-60B with R.A. Litschert K4-KV5 ocular on a 'Sporterized' 1893 Spanish
I am very pleased with the scope! It leaves the receiver able to take stripper-clips, is crystal clear, and throws up to the shoulder with both-eyes open like a 1958 version of an ACOG - really look forward to carrying this on some bear and coyote-infested land i own in PA mountains, and when I get out west.

The elevation was perfect. All I had to do was fix the windage 4 clicks.
Dianawerks Model 54, Air King with Redfield 3x-9x
The best part is the look and feel --- a great old Redfield is the icing on the cake.
Weihrauch HW 35E with Redfield 3x-7x
If you want your air rifles to look and feel luxurious and slick, then outfit it with a vintage optic to accentuate the wood, and gun blue - you'll be grinning ear to ear.

Glad y'all are around!”
Henry cantilever mount, J-4 scope and color case hardened rings
Greetings,
I purchased a J-4 scope, heat treated rings and mounts from you. I was very hesitant to drill in the receiver. I like to show you what I did!
I found a Henry cantilever mount. I removed the rear fixed sight and screwed in this mount. Works perfect! In minutes I can restore. No drilling!! Want to share so maybe you can recommend to others.
Best,”
