Bearcub 4x scope

[thomasam]

Hi all
Looking for some info on an old scope I just picked up.
Paper info tucked in with it says Bearcub 4x
It has no turrets and came with rings attached. It looks like you can adjust the rings for left and right adjustment, one mount has an adjustment screw and mounts are numbered 26 on each.
Simple 2 line crosshairs.

Surprisingly clear for an old scope
Any info would be appreciated
Stay healthy

this became redfield

 

[Why not?]

Yes, they did become Redfield, and I can only remember seeing two of them in more than 50 years of hunting and shooting.

Stith made many different mounts to affix their scopes to different rifles. They were one of the first to have a mount for the Savage Model 99 lever guns.

Thanks guys, I've just added pics. Can anyone comment on how the change in elevation was accomplished? I'm assuming it was on the base?

I mounted one using the Burris adjustable tings. (they use shimmed inserts). One it was zeroed with the hunting load it was a simple, solid and very clean installation.
