ONE COULD ORDER A 438 SCOPE WITH THE STANDARD MOUNTS(CHEAP), OR THE BETTER(STEEL), AT EXTRA COST. I HAVE HAD QUITE A NUMBER WITH EITHER.

New home for this scope.  Sets a bit higher than I like but it's workable.  Made the rear block so I could use existing hole in the barrel.  This little Steven's Marksman had many issues when I got it.  It ended up with a liner to correct a chamber someone messed up and had what looked like a nail for a firing pin.  For a boys rifle is shooting pretty darn good.  Fun gun.  This is one that will end up with the grandson.....or granddaughter.

Yes it does. Small, about 1/8 inch.

Is the 438 considered an 8 power?
Bob

The 438 is either a 3X or 4X.  The 3X is early and was replaced with the 4X.

If you need mounts, I have a lead on some hi-lux repro mounts. These are the gen1 mounts that come on their 8x unertl clone. A buddy of mine upgraded his mounts to the gen 2 and would probably sell the gen 1 mounts.

I’m good on mounts but thanks for the offer.

She’s shooting pretty good as is.
