Looking for suggestions on a vintage optic

[ArmedGinger]

Looking for something like a straight 10 power or maybe more. Something with the 60s to early 70s vibe. I know of the Weaver K10 and the Tasco T10 but what are some others I should look for.

What about some old Bausch&lomb made some and I think up to 36x.
I’m pretty sure most companies made fixed high magnification scopes in those days, they were really popular with competition shooter.

The good old Kahles 8x56, one of the best performers in low light, crystal clear, great for spotlighting, just a good all round scope with quality optic's.

Just adding an extra voice to confirm the Kahles 8x56.

Don’t overlook the leupold M8 series.

I like to see vintage scopes on older rifles but would not sacrifice decent quality for a pure period matching scopes. Some of those old scopes are not that good. Get something close like a Leupold M8 or any gloss Leupold or a B&L Balvar. The Bushnell Scopechief VI is a decent scope as well.
