doublegunshop.com - home Forums Thread Like Summary - Rook rifle

I posted a few pictures under the classified area looking for some ammunition. I have managed to located some 25-20 SS but am still looking for a box of original 295 or 300 Rook. Would like to fill the holes in the case. I have ordered the necessary reloading components to load for the 300 Rook.
I thought I would post a few pictures here to get feedback on this rifle that I recently purchased.
Having looked on the internet it seems to be one of the nicest ones I have found so far.
Its a 3 barrel set, the other barrel is a barrel modified for a 410.
The rifle needs some additional cleaning, with the only real modification other than the barrel is the addition of wscope mounts. I have added a unertl scope I had just to see how it fit.
I will add additional pictures later today.

So, so nice!

Thank you for the thoughts on the scope. I will be looking for something to mount on the rifle.

An original Lyman Alaskan might work as well. If I recall correctly, someone did a later production of that scope as well, which might have better quality glass and waterproofing.

Leupold 'Alaskan' same 7/8" dia and features, looks, etc.
Made in the 90's IIRC and great 'scope. I have a 2.5X version.

Simpson Ltd. has a KARL KAHLES, TELORAR 4X, marked JOH Springer, and an Oigee Berlin 2 1/2 X scope under Firearms Accessories, each listed at $300 and requiring some cleaning and other work.
They also have a Lyman Alaskan 7/8" tube scope listed at almost $900. I have no connection to Simpson.

Beware of some of these older scopes. While fine pieces of equipment finding parts and/or someone to do proper repair work is difficult. I have an older Swarovski fixed power that needs work and no one stateside will touch it including the factory. Proceed cautiously if you go this route.

IMHO any internal adjustment scope is going to look out of place.
One of the early Stevens scopes would look nice and period correct…..couple right now on Ebay.
