   Jan 13, 2021 · The Lyman Alaskan is without a doubt the oldest trouble-free scope that we have seen. Sure, there are others like the Kollmorgen line in the 1950s that seem to be as clear and bright today as they were 70 years ago and require very little attention.

   Jun 11, 2020 · I developed an appreciation for old Lyman scopes. I intend no disrespect for the honest and correct Weaver 330 scope, but its not far off the older 3/4 tube mediocre .22 scopes I used as a kid. The Lyman Alaskan is a definite step up,and there is documentation its a legit 1903A4 scope.
