I am looking into putting a scope on a non-collectible Swede M38. I am planning on a Timney trigger install, and probably swapping out the original safety for a scope-friendly one too.
Being a small ring Mauser, this severely limits my choice of bases... Leupold being the only brand I can find that I even recognize. I am looking for a small light weight scope to put on it for hunting. Assume 200yds to target or LESS. I am thinking of the Leupold VX I-II in 2-7x33. Anybody else got a suggestion? Price is a concern--this is a meat-Mauser, not a target rifle. I don't need to count fleas on the deer at 400yds! I have thought about the Vortex 1-4x line but need to get eyes on one to see how much light it brings to my aging eyes.
TIA,
