thanks for the responses. The rifle and scope showed up, it is a "made in Taiwan" Tasco 4 x 32. I dated the rifle to 1986, assume the scope could be of the same age? I think I will replace it with one of the suggestions above like the leupold 1.5 5o 5.
Still, try it for a while, you might come to think a fixed 4x is just right, but a better one.
