Cool old glass

[Outlaw99]

Is there any market for vintage old glass like this? I just took it off a pre 64 model 70 in 300 win mag I just purchased. It’s a clear, cool old glass; I’m just not sure what to do with it. Keep it around for another rifle or are there folks out there that actively seek these old vintage scopes?

I’ll be interested to see what folks say. I just picked up a 742 carbine with an old fixed weaver on it. I’ll be popping it off sometime this spring, be nice to get something out of it!

I feel like @Schrapnel has a safe full of these somewhere

I have at least a half dozen old weaver scopes, all fixed either 4 or 6 power. I've often thought about getting rid of a few of them, but just can't do it. Have 3 on rifles right now, 338, 30/06, and a 22 mag. All are hell for stout and hold zero well.

I think there's a market for them.

I live about 15 minutes from them. Have a few scopes myself I have thought about taking in to them. mtmuley

I grew up on Weaver scopes and Old Timer knives. I would imagine that I could go back to both, and it wouldn't have a noticeable effect on my hunting. The Weavers were dark in low light but seldom a problem. I still have a K-10 and a K-4 on rifles that I use. I traded away a couple of 3-9s.

This outfit does wonderful restorations of old scopes.
A buddy just had one reworked.

Do they buy old scopes as well, or just refurbish for people? I’ve got a couple early 80’s Bushnell that could end up in a box headed that way?

Not sure. I haven't contacted them yet. They show scopes for sale, so seems like they would buy scopes to refurbish. mtmuley

I’m curious about this company. I’ve got a couple of old classics that I don’t know what to do with. Just took this old Leupold Pioneer 4X off my wife’s 1950’s M70 featherweight and don’t have a use for it.
