What are your thoughts on glass?

Swarovski Z3 3-9 x 36, older gun I like a glossier black...my opinion

A Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36mm would be just about perfect.

Besides .308 and .243 were they made in any other cals?

963

VL63 Finnwolf

.243 Win, .244 Rem, .308 Win, .358 Win

Lever-action

should read 1963 as in the year

Picked up a mint condition VX 2 3-9x40 today. Looks perfect on it.

Got to the range today with it. Shot Norma whitetail ammo for the brass 150gn. First time shooting it first 3 shots where 2" high adjusted the scope shot 3 more at 1"high and all 3 where touching. It appears it's going to be a shooter.

No,243 and 308 only. I am fortunate to own 3,2 for the safe, 1 to shoot. Incredibly accurate rifles. Too delicate in my opinion for hard use. If you break anything, good luck getting it fixed. same with magazine, if you lose yours, good luck replacing it.Finally ,the early 4 shot models should not be dry fired, you may damage the firing pin.
They are absolutely beautiful rifles, works of art.

I agree. I have VX3-2.5-8x36mm on two of mine, on low Sako mounts. Lever perfection.

Advise against even thinking about disassembly of your Finnwolf. Don't believe me, try it

yeah I saw the post after the fact. That happens when you are doing three things at once and you are really old.
