IMO, if it doesn't have purple/green/blue multicoat from the 70s at least, I would skip it. I love my Nickel Supra, but it has the multi-coated lenses, and was one of their last ones made. Do I have an earlier one, yes, but...
I also would not get something where the reticle does not stay centered, but that is just me. You could have mounts perfectly aligned, in a perfect world.
The older I get, the more my vision appreciates the spectacular advances in optics. I will put new on an old rifle in a heartbeat. (and have done so regularly) Of course, I would not put something garish, like uber turret target scope on vintage guns.
