People who have ever used these scopes will know what I am talking about. How could a person use that scope on crows, unless all the crows decided to land at the exact same distance from the shooter? Ditto for woodchucks. My objective has white embossed marks for 50 ft and for 25, 50, and farther yards. I would have to dial the objective lens to the correct distance to get any clarity. I am bewildered by vincvanb who tells of hunting crows and woodchucks with his STS type scopes.ĭo people realize that the objective lens needs to be dialed in to the distance in order to use one of these scopes? For instance, I am shooting smallbore at 25 yds, and decide to shoot a target at 50 yds. Finally, one of them obtained "the wrong" mount and milled it down to the correct height! This was many years ago. As I recall, I went to several gunsmiths. One problem with my scope was getting it mounted - the gunsmith could not find or obtain bases that would work.
#Unertl scope parts plus
The gun plus scope look very cool - not inferior to some of the photos posted on the website you referenced. Mine is mounted on a Savage Model 19NRA target rifle - a rather heavy-barrel item. Did you ever get the recoil spring on yours? You hardly need one on a 22LR, but they sure do look neat. I am very glad to share that I do have the recoil spring on mine. This confuses me, because a ring back by the eyepiece end of mine has a "15X" impressed in white against the black blueing. Someone stated they didn't know the magnification of one of these scopes that they owned, but guessed it was a 20X. It just makes me grateful I have the one I have. I went out and read both of those threads and learned quite a bit, although I suspect that purchase of these scopes for over $900 and up is a bit rich for my blood. For those of us who were hunting woodchucks and crows with them in the 1950s and 1960s, nothing says "Varmint Rifle" as well as a heavy- barreled, walnut-stocked rifle topped by a Unertl, Lyman or B&L!

And, as someone else said, they look great. I have one and like it but at the higher powers it's not as bright as the fixed power Unertls.Īll of these scopes still bring high prices-proof that they are still in demand despite their weight and primitive mounts. Truthfully, I preferred the Unertls and sold the STSs.Īnother one from the old days is the Bausch&Lomb 6-24X. Optically they are pretty similar but that big Unertl objective sure gives a very bright image. I've had Lyman STSs and Unertl 2 inch Targets. How about Lyman?Īre Lyman Targetspot scopes still being made? It's my impression that Unertl is no longer in business. I sort of get the feeling that experienced shooters tend to prefer Unertl. Some recent threads here sing the praises of the Unertl target scopes. 22 target rifle that mounts a Lyman Targetspot scope in 15X. Its a 25X and its good but no Unertl IMHO. I have one STS currently, out at Parsons for a look see. bobīob, I have shot and owned both and have yet to find a Lyman STS with a good a set of optic as a Unertl. I'd spend $1000 on a Leupold competition, good bases and rings and even drilling and tapping a receiver before I'd drop the same amount on a Lyman STS or Unertl.

You did not ask but good modern scopes are far superior to any of the older barrel mounted long tube units. Price on them tends to increase with magnification, the 25X bringing the higher prices. If you obtain a Lyman STS in reasonable condition it can indeed be a goodperformer. The big (and newer vintage) Unertls are a different story and have slightly superior optics and mechanics along with lots more weight. In my opinion the Lyman STS is superior to the older Unertl scopes of similar design. What parts remain are likely in his possession and he does rehabilitate, repair and adjust these scopes. Gil Parsons at Parsons scope service bought all remaining stock from Lyman when they discontinued production. Lyman SuperTargetSpot scopes are no longer being s been many many years since the last production.
