Scoped my Mossberg

Wanted to share my new old rifle. I've had this Mossberg 42m-c since I was little. It was manufactured sometime in the mid 1940's. It's always been a fun shooter so I decided to order a mount and some rings from Havlin Sales. I mounted a Nikon 4x32 that I had in the closet. Well this old bolt action still has alot of life in it and a preference for Winchester subsonics. I couldn't stop shooting it today! Here's the pics. Sorry about the picture quality, Santa forgot that I wanted a new camera for Christmas :mad:

Johnm - Santa didn't forget he just didn't have the money for it. Besides, the camera you got now takes really nice pictures. That Nikon is awsome. I remember the deal you got on it.

Nice looking gun and scope. Wow, if that scope was just sitting in your closet, you must have a lot of scopes :)
Thanks for the kind words. I had that scope mounted on a rifle 4 or 5 years ago. Sold the rifle, kept the scope and put it back in the box up in the closet and kind of forgot about it over time. I took it out about a month ago and remembered how nice the optics were and thought it would be a nice match for the old Mossberg. It's been my new favorite toy over the last week.
