Unertl scope

I just found a scope for sale on ebay. Marked BV-20

What is the "BV" never saw one of those before?

The BV-20 was Unertl's version of a shorter scope for field applications or target work. Although no longer made, that model is still popular with Unertl fans.

I personally am not a big fan of external adjustment scopes, but to each his own.

That scope on eBay is priced right at value, maybe up to $500.

Since we're talking Unertl - why do people refer to "resetting" a Unertl after shooting each shot? Does it move in its mounts as some form of recoil protection? Never used one myself.

Simply put, yes.

When the gun recoils, the scope slides. It has a spring on it to bring it back to position, but I always slide the scope front a little them let it spring back. JUST to make sure.

Push it forward, turn it right, pull it back, and repeat.
