The Old Weaver steel body scopes make a nice addition if you are trying to put together a period piece along the lines of a pre 64 model 70. With respect to the glass, new scopes have MUCH better clarity, coatings and overall light gathering. Even in their day they were only a mid range scope. Back then the top of the pile was German glass like Zeiss and Leica, followed by Redfield, then Leupold. The Guy that started Burris, Don Burris, back in 1971 used to work for Redfield and wanted to make a great scope at a lower price point than Redfield offered.
Unless you are looking to match the scope to a period Husky, Winchester or the like, I would not be spending a lot of money getting one fixed. Trace does do great work and is quite reasonable. Phone is 403-651-0793 Email is
