This is (I'm told) a bolt peep for a Mauser I got several years ago, someday it will go on a nice custom. I haven't taken the time to see how all the adjustments work, the aperture is eccentric on the disc which turns for windage and it has a plunger to bring it up and down for elevation. No makers name. A lot of fine machining went into it especially considering the size.

Welcome and tell us about other Hoffman things you might have. I chased a Hoffman 300-Hoffman across Canada a few years back only to find it days after it had been re-chambered to .300 Weatherby. I wish one of the owners had a box of cartridges like yours.
