Have seen his ad's around never bought anything.  For 1K I think I would have him ship it to Parsons for inspection at your expense budgeting a hundered or so for cleaning. Whar with shipping and all that would make the scope about 1200 dollars, A record as far as I know. But what the heck it's only money.

They are real nice scopes.  If I could find a BV under the same terms would probably sell something to buy it.

Keith, you gonna sell him yours?    Me neither!   Sorry Pat!   

Did you look on the trading blanket?  might post a "wanted" there too  Also you get the members free ad in the J.

Nah dummy ,  at Target don't you know. 
Walmart and Sam's club have gone anti-gun.  Probably due to profit margins rather than any true ethical or moral POV.

seriously Mitchells are pretty good, but not cheap and since he quit making them they'll be going even farther through the roof.  If you could find one you could look at it as an investment.

How come people who own Mitchel scopes only want to brag about them and never want to share them with others? Am I the only one that feels short changed by these types? What about Lend Lease? Or was that only a myth?

Any of you guys use a Mitchell ?  The only one I ever saw was real nice but too big for offhand. I understand he made a scope for smallbore prone that was lighter and about right for offhand Schuetzen.

Anybody see one ?

Boats, I think that is what mine is.  I called him after I bought it (used) to find out what the mechanical centers for the micrometers he used as windage and elev adjusters should be. He said it was one of the smaller diameter lighter weight versions he made for some special use. I've forgotten what he told me it was but what you say'd make sense and it sounds familiar.  Its a 1.5"--40X and I'm really pleased with it, other than the gold anodized mounts---but I'll live with them.  40x might be a bit much for offhand, but I don't do much of that and if I decide to try it I have a couple 24x redfields I'll use on another rifle.

DWS from memory only the smaller Mitchell was a 1600 named after the smallbore prone match.  When I was looking at them he was still producing and sent me a brocure. I may still have it will look. I bet that 40 x has some view of the Center.  Some Silouette shooters have there 6.5x20 Leupolds bosted to near that power and shoot them fine offhand.

I would suspect that power is not good for general use, subject to mirage problems and all, but for focusing on a 1 1/2 inch center at 200 yards pretty good.

Got to brag a little here. I have shot with George Mitchell for many years at Friendship on the Slug Gun Line, and of course watched he develope his scopes and gave input when asked. I own two scopes one is 1 1/2" serial # 001 also a 2" serial # 001. They have performed flawlessly. Interesting info, my wife complained to george that the field of view was a little too big, so george developed a series of appertures for her and they are great, They were originally called "Judies Appertures" and he made several as an option.
I also use an 1 1/2 Unertl bought new many yaers ago, I must say it has performed very well. They have gone up in price unblieveably.
Sorry! none of my scopes are available for any price.

Wish I'd have seen your post before last neight. I placed a 2"X20X Unertl on Ebay. It's just about as good as they get and has seen little use. It will be there for four more days.

I was wondering, where do the apertures go any what do they do?

Pat, check your PM's.  I let you know of a place that has a few scopes you might want.

Well, I won(?) a 2", 20X on Ebay. Pricey, but It was what I had to spend after selling my other 2, and it was very close to what I wanted! Of course, A new item came up tonight, EXACTLY what I wanted, a 2", 24X with POSA mounts. Just incase anybody else is looking.
