Thanks for a wondeful video, I really like that dive into US scope production history. What fascinates me in old US (as well as soviet, yugoslavian, west german and pretty much every country ever) scopes is that glossy finish. Why is it gone today, why even Leupold has ceased making their scopes with glossy finish? It looks so damn appealing compared to all those matte paint or ceracote or whatever.

I love the old vintage classic scopes and I've got a bunch of them. It's took me a lot of years to find them. Would I sell any of them? Nope. Are new scopes better? Sure, to a degree. One thing to remember, I can walk any time into any store and buy a new scope. It's not that way with good vintage scopes, they're very hard to find in good condition. I guess it's kind of like classic cars compared to new cars.

Excellent video. I also have a thing for vintage scopes and rifles. I inherited my dad's deer rifle, an early 70's vintage Ruger m77 30-06 with tang safety. It wears a Bushnell Scopechief IV 3-9 with command post of the same era. I like the command post setting for fast target acquisition at close range. Rotate the command post dial down to reveal thin crosshairs which don't obscure targets for longer shots. Very clear Japanese Bausch and Lomb glass. It's 47 years old and I'm still confidently running this accurate, reliable rig.

That rifle you held up in the last two minutes of your video has a barrel as long as a trap/skeet gun. Your information on these old scopes runs parallel with what I've seen and experienced since the mid '70's. Enjoyed the video. So many scopes came on the market in the 1970's and 80's that you couldn't keep up with what was a bargain, and what was junk. But you could always count on a Leopold to be worth your dollar spent. Recently bought a new Weaver for nostalgia as much as dollar value. It seems to be well made and worth my wages. Yes, it was the upper end of their line-up. Thanx again..

Thank you tackling such a difficult subject. I've been buying and selling vintage scopes for 30 years, and currently have over 400 in my collection. Redfield was ordered to cease operation in the mid-80s due to water pollution issues. The plant was torn down, and the area declared a Super-Fund environmental impact zone. Competition by imported scopes did not affect their profits tremendously. The company was still running well, and developing new technology when shuttered by the government. Redfield scopes are now assembled in Oregon with lower cost imported parts. They are very good scopes, regardless.

It was apparently a gun rack rifle, sun bleached on one side and beat up wood stock. Anyway, the first thing I noticed was how well built the scope is, with the steel tube and the glass still clear and intact. I plan on getting the scope rebuilt and re-blued, and refilled with nitrogen after I restore the rifle.

Unfortunately, I have no vintage Burris scopes. If I run across one of the old Burris fixed power scopes (which were popular in their day), I would definitely buy it for my collection, but they only made them for a few years. Burris variable power scopes were not popular among many hunters; even though they had great glass, they would never listen to their customer and ditch the rotating ocular design. Most hunters hated the rotating ocular. I believe they moved production to the Philippines in the 80s and now make some scopes in China. Another victim of the cheap import war.

I own 4 old K series scopes. The most powerful being a K-4. The K-4 is something wrong with it and to have it repaired involves 8 months until they can get to it and more cash than buying a new scope. The others are 2 K-2.5's and 1 K-3. The quality of these scopes cannot be surpassed today. One is on a .357 Ruger M77/357, one is on a .22 mag. and the K-3 is on what I call my pole gun. Property I own is forested with lodge pole pine and the 7x57 with a 3 power scope works well in that timber. The K-3 is the old post and crosshair reticle which takes some adjustment getting used to.

I just got a 1953 Remington 721 and on it came a Older 4 x 30 to fix power rifle scope which I don’t believe it’s time period Appropriate. I’ll probably get a Weaver k6 To put on it but I’m having trouble identifying this particular scope. It’s got custom engraving that was done into the metal and I haven’t remove the rings yet to look for any identifying marks. It does say it was made in Japan and then it’s nitrogen filled. And it looks like it has the logo name of Eagle. Maybe an older Vortx of some type?

What wasn't mentioned here was the difference between Weaver K4 scopes and was there a better series of the lot. There was the 60B the C, the f and the 1 etc. they were different but different how?

Hey DesertDog, long time viewer, recent subscriber here. I recently was gifted an older Redfield Lo-Pro 2-7 wide view scope that was removed from an early 1990s A-Bolt. I'm trying to get a decent idea of when it was made and where it was manufactured. Do you have any resources to point me to to help with my search? It has no other info other than the brand and model.

Got a leupold 4x scope from the late '50s / early '60s. Is there anywhere I can send it to get it refurbished? It's on the family 30.06 And I would love to keep it original.

Thoughts on Tasco 3-9x40 SuperMarksman 30-30 Reticle with marks: Water Proof #W627 Licensed under US Patent 3161716 Japan A-53 - 5. I wonder about the year of manufacture (probably early 70's) and its quality. The yellow box seems very low quality, though the scope seems very good blued alimunium case with good glass i guess since I dont have a lot of experience in scopes. I bought it new and never used never put on a rifle without a scratch for 120$, bought from store in Australia from (probably granddad, but he couldn't tell the year).

What about a B nickel supra, or a Pecar Berlin? I’ve owned swaro z6i, zeiss v6, but believe it or not, prefer the older, light weight post reticle scopes. Plus, they look great.

This was a very good video. You should reshoot it in better quality though. It is the only video in which the author actually knows instead of a pretentious speculator regurgitating the brochure info over and over again. Thanks

What I’m noticing is it’s difficult to find a high gloss scope now to match the bluing. Nice bluing with matte black just doesn’t look as sharp to me.
