BSA Mildot scope.
The idea is to build an accurate 10/22 with minimal investment, built on a craptastic 10/22 I took off my dad's hands today for $50.
The stock internals look to be in decent, but freakishly dirty shape. I'm detail stripping the bitch down, polishing the right parts, replacing springs where neccessary and probably going to use it all at first. Once its all together and tested clean I'm going to use it to teach my oldest son (9) about shooting to see if he'll take to it. And if he doesn't then I'll have a nice little 10/22 that didn't break the bank.
The scope could have been better but I really couldn't justify spending over $100 on glass for this project when its going to be used entirely on paper targets.
