So I finally got off my wallet and picked up a scope. Its not what I expected, but I think I got a great deal.
Its a Zeiss conquest 3.5-10x44.... what do you think.
I don't have it yet, I got it off of EE. Now I'm looking at scope mounts and bases. Not much selection for my Thompson encore. Found a few interesting places in the states.
I talked to a guy at Cabelas today, and he said I'd have to go with high rings, but I think I could get away with medium. I read that the objective is 50mm. This is less than 2 inches, and I think most medium rings will clear that. Only thing is hammer clearance?!?
