Scope suggestion

[Spikedriver]

So I recently "inherited" this from my Pops when he finally moved to town.

It's a Mossberg Model 46 B-B. The thing drives tacks all day long, but after cataract surgery I can no longer use the rear sight and the front sights are missing pieces. The receiver is tapped on the side for a peep sight mount and Havlin sells a scope mount that uses those holes so mounting a scope isn't hard.

I'm looking for a vintage style scope for this rifle. No high power variable, no big objective lenses. A 3/4" tube 4x would be great, but there don't seem to be any good ones available. What's a decent quality low power scope that looks like it would belong on top of this old shooter? I'm thinking no larger than 32mm bell and 28mm would be better. Am I stuck looking for a used Redfield rimfire scope?

Skip the tacticool temptation and find an old Weaver K4 or “Baby Redfield.” Your rifle deserves tweed, not gym clothes.

I found a company called "Gru-Bee" that makes modern replicas of the Baby Redfield scope. I'm going to look for a vintage scope first, and if I don't find one in a couple months I'll probably order the Gru-Bee...

There is a notification feature you can attach to E bay searches to email you when something first pops up for sale. Works pretty good, be patient.
