Jim Carmichel was getting rid of some of Mike Walker"s personal shooting items at the Super Shoot last week. I was able to get Mike's custom shop built Remington internally adjustable scope. Should have it in my hands by week's end. I was able to buy 3 externally adjustable scopes from Jim Stekl a year or 2 ago. One of them will go great on my 40X custom. I will post photos when it is in hand.

Congratulations Butch,
collecting scopes is a great hobby IMHO. They don't take up much room and there are so many more ways you can look at them than with, say, stamps.

What brand is Mike Walker's scope and about what year was it made?

It is a Remington scope made in the custom shop. I think they were made around 1970. I believe it is a 24X.

Below are the Remington 20X and 24X custom shop scopes that I got from Jim Stekl. Jim was the father of the XP100 when he was with Remington.


These were the first custom shop scopes made in 1969-1970. They initially used Unertl scope rings and then used their own. They were different than the Unertls as the Remingtons mounted on the receiver, rather than the barrel. They are pretty rare. The internal adjustable scope were an even more rare bird.
I will post a photo when I pick it up. Wade Hull from Shilen picked it up for me, I will have to drive to Ennis to pick it up.

Those are really a nice find !

Just an " FYI ":
FS Target Scope Return Spring Assemblies, Lyman, Unertl, Fecker etc.

Mine has a little aluminum cell that the crosshairs fit. I would only send the cell.

Thanks Butch,
Yes, reading your post again, I see you did say they were made by Remington. Nick Stroebel mentioned them as being rare and worth $700-$1000, before the GFC.

Thanks,
Kobe said take any thing that you said lightly. I need to check, but understand only 3 of the internals were produced.
