I’ve got a couple of really nice old steel tube scopes, that are in nice shape. They belonged to my wife’s great uncle. A few weavers and a few Lyman’s.
I’d like to put one on a vintage rifle someday.
I haven’t handled the new Ruger American, but the original and the Savage are both good rifles. The stocks aren’t the greatest on either rifle they feel cheap but the barrels are great.
Not a prism scope, but I’m a fan of a fixed 4 power scope for close range deer hunting.

I also have a Nikon 2-7x32 on my slug gun. I know Nikon no longer makes scopes, but maybe you can find one that’s NOS?

I’ve handled 2 of them at a local gun shop. The fit and finish is excellent. I think Ruger is doing an excellent job. Not sure I’ll pick one up for myself anytime soon, as I’m pretty well covered with my lever actions.
You would be correct, there aren’t any big trees on this property. My brother and I bought this property last spring. It’s in Pennsylvania. it was clear cut 15 years ago or so. The good news is we are surrounded my mature woods. We do have 2small ponds, a few spring heads, and a few low spots...
