Skeet, You are absolutely right. The 7/8 inch scope is a Lyman "Alaskan" 9505 with the 3 dots. It is in Redfield type rings that would help immeasurably keeping the crosshairs in the center.It has caps over the adjustment knobs and "All-Weather" stamped on the turrents.
The target scope I thought was a Lyman but I cannot find the name anywhere on it. I feel the Litschert AO maybe an add on because it is a different color bjue than the rest of the scope. It has a large screw on the side of the attachment but I have been hesitant to loosen the screw to see if it says Lyman under the attachment. The mounts don't have anything written on them to identify them. They were not functional when I bought it but I studied them and was able to readjust it. I put it on a Model 52 Winchester that had blocks to test it and it came through with flying colors. It is 24 inches long. The main tube is a 3/4 ", including the eye piece. The objective tube behind the Litschert AO is 1 3/8" with the AO being 1.5" dia. Both ends have aluminum threaded caps and a rubber eye shield on the ocular housing. The bases on the K-Hornet barrel are only 6 7/8" apart so the adjustments aren't exactly 1/4". However, since the barrel needs replacing I have not changed the spacing to 7.2 inches. Since the stock on the rifle is high comb, the scope looks entirely in theme. The wood is crude and will also be replaced at barrel time. Can't do all of the projects at one time.
