For sure I would not fix the knock off.

I have these scopes on old pre-64 winchester, 98 mausers, and remington 600/660 bolt guns. Just enjoy going totally vintage for some of my hunts and matching the guns with proper period scopes.
Any newer guns like my Blasers all get treated to Swarovski glass. Been using swaro for 20 years, and have yet to have a scope fail.
