    Vintage Gun Scopes

    Does anyone have experience with this company? I have an old steel-body Weaver K6 that needs love. It's a long tube scope and the Buehler mount on that rifle has wide ring spacing.

    I also have an old K6 that i have considered having restored. Mine is mounted on a Remington 582 that has been with me for almost 45 years. The reticle is noticeably off-set but I am used to it and consider it a theft deterrent. I see on the website the company sells restored K6s but did not see an offer to refurbish customer's scopes. Other models, yes, but K6 was not. Maybe I'll contact them about a Christmas present for myself. Thanks for posting this!

    I have an older, all steel K6 on top of my BLR. I've given a bit of thought to swapping out to something more compact, lighter, and with an illuminated reticle, probably one of the mid range LPVOs. Out of curiosity I did a bit of looking at the values of the K6 scopes and they seem to be anywhere from $75-$350. Any suggestions on where to find a solid gauge for pricing were I to sell mine?

    I bought a Redfield fixed power from Vintage Gun Scopes. Based on my experience I'd say they're good to go.

    appropriate to this topic: Does any current scope manufacturer still offer gloss finishes?
