    you have two options besides trying Gander Mountain or Academy, you can either wait for a gun show or check online.

    I think the main thing when getting a spotting scope is the quality off the optics, nothing sucks more that getting optics that give you a blurry view or creates mirages when is hot outside.

    That reminds me, I need one too to sight my Mosin and my SKS, the ones at Carter's country have been beaten to hell.

        1942, it's in fair condition with all matching numbers, love the kick.

        I'm thinking on getting a sporter stock and a permanent scope mount.

            I put one right after I bought it two years ago, but it's in scout configuration, why I did such a thing is beyond me, being a 91/30 is so ungainly long, it defeats the whole purpose of a scout rifle, besides, the mount is very flimsy, I need a good scope and a drill and tap mount, not to mention a bent bolt.

                            i had that scope for a while, but at 200yd it was hard to see the target, thats why i want something in the 20-60range...

                              Yeah I wanna say this. At 100 yards the 16x50 works well.. anything after that.. you will need something better.. like a 18-36 x50 spotting scope.. still that is going to cost you some cash.
