Default Vintage scopes

Not sure if anyone is big into vintage scopes but I ran across this company in Montana the other day. If you have a vintage gun you want to deck out with the correct optic or are in need of a repair you might want to give them a call.

Default Old scopes

I’ have an old Winchester A5 scope in pretty good shape sitting in my safe, it’s not on there list but maybe I’ll see if there’s any interest in it?

Be curious what they say. I have a thing for weaver K scopes. Have a K4 and only wish I had bought another plus a K6 before they stopped making them.

I have a K4 but shipping to the USof A might be a problem? It is going to auction only because I am use mostly 6X on all my rifles now. They were and are a fine scope, especially the El Paso ones.

I enquired with Prophet River and they advised me that sending used scopes to the US is no problem.

Almost two weeks and I haven't heard from them. Wonder if there's any interest anywhere in Canada....maybe I should dump these off, likely never use 'em.

I have an old Lyman 15x Super Targetspot scope,it was a field testing scope for C.I.L. back in the 50,'s, and it is still really accurate .
I personally have shot it on .22LR's to 300 meters and on a 300 WSM to 1 mile .
