7/8 tube diameter scopes?

[Craig0ry]

Is there any place to find these? I bought kind of a rare scope mount and thought the rings were 1" but their smaller, Anyone have a source for these scopes?

I'd need to see the mounts to get to the bottom of this, Redfield among others made 7/8" scopes that required special rings, but they haven't been made in years. If the mounts are ext. adj. it's a different story as alot of older classic target scopes used smaller dia. objectives and the adj. mounts to match.

Lyman made a 7/8" scope too. The "Alaskan" I believe. It was one of Jack O'Connor's favorites in a Griffin & Howe side mount.
