old scopes

[docvx]

IS there a collectors market for old scopes that are from the 80's and 90's?

I am not personally up on this. However I would suspect that there are collectors for the older European stuff,older Redfields,Unertil's,and etc. Sniper type scopes,especially with specialized reticals also.
Nothing for Tasco,Simmons,etc. --- SAWMAN

Older Weaver steel tube scopes are sought after as well.

Id love one of the old unertl scopes, I just ahve some old ones i keep around and didnt know if there was resale value.

I shot many rounds from a Ruger #1V that was topped by a 20X Unertil. Many a Maine woodchuck looked out of his hole and saw a huge eyeball looking back at him. Most likely the last thing he saw. --- SAWMAN

I see some people trying to sell 80’s and 90’s scopes on eBay. They are asking more for them than what they cost new. I wouldn’t touch them for those prices.

Unless it is a super duper collectable such as a unertl or a older redfield from the 60's I wouldnt pay those prices either. My dad bought a top of the line bushnell in the 90s and I have it now its still tracking good and on my 7mm mag. Some where my uncle has an old colt 4x for the m16 and and I keep asking him and he wont give it up. He had it when I was 7 back in the 90's so i know its not a cheap copy lol.
