Wanted: Period-correct scope for 1980s sniper rifle...

[AndrewS]

I have recently acquired a 1980s vintage sniper rifle (specifically a Tikka M65A*) and I'm looking for a "period-correct" scope to go on it. Something like a Kahles ZF95, Nimrod, early Leupold (ULTRA, Mk 4), early S&B PM 1/2. I'd prefer something up to 10x magnification (fixed or variable) but 6x might be OK.

Does anyone have, or know of, anything suitable?

TIA

Andrew

If the OP not interested I may be looking for one of these in the near future if the rifle deal comes off

Fine with me. I think the Op is looking for something more tacticool than simply an 80's scope.
