I was reading Jeff Cooper's latest, and he mentioned development efforts on ext-adj mounts for fixed-power scopes. Reminded me of the old Stith mounts, used with B&L scopes some 40 years or so ago.

I went to my Wild-Animal box, and Lo! An old Stith. Heavy & clunky. If somebody can use it, I'll ship it UPS COD-shipping or some such. I don't need it...(And, no, I don't know what sort of rifle it was on. Maybe, just maybe, a Model 70, but maybe a Mauser 98.)

Apparently there's a developing market "out there" for a lighter-weight, cleaner-lined adjustable mount. Talk to Jeff...

Best regards...
