Addendum: I have a Lyman Junior Targetspot 8x on my Winchester 54 .22 K-Hornet and have never felt handicapped when using it at "normal" Hornet distances, say 200-250 yards max (max for me).
One must realize that such "period correct" scopes will never display the optical quality of even current low end scopes, but they're darned good nonetheless and quite capable of returning very usable performance.
Optical quality notwithstanding, the target scopes of the 30's-70's with their external adjustments are foolproof in their simplicity of adjustment, or I should say basic repeatability/accuracy of adjustment- something not enjoyed by most of the aforementioned low-medium end internal adjustment scopes of today. (Foolproof in simplicity but still demanding of the user to use his noggin.)
