Just picked up a 1913 Remington model. 12A for my old lady to squirrel hunt with.The reciever has two d&t holes in the top for scope mount. I am looking for a high quality older scope and mount that would look right, as well as have good optics for sub 100yd shooting. Doesn't have to be as old as the rifle obviously, just vintage enough to be a good pairing. What is available? What price range will I be looking at? And any other tid bits of wisdom you can throw at me would be appreciated.
