Weaver K series scopes

[cdnrokon]

I was looking online and I see that weaver made a steel tube scope in a fixed 8 power
I have seen one in a K856 and it was on a muzzleloader .... clear old glass.

I was looking to find one as it is a longer scope overall , and it would look period correct on my Remington 788

does anyone have one ,please tell me what reticle they come in.. I am starting to look for one.

My old 8X has a plain crosshair.

 

[cdnrokon]

is it a 56mm obj lens

 

[tiriaq]

No.

this one I saw was a 56MM objective lens with a German #1 reticle/ I would like to find one with 56mm obj lens for light gathering.

Decent old scopes if you are after period correct, they ain't anything ground breaking on optical performance compared to stuff today.
I like them, sent a couple to Trace for refreshing, dunno if it's glue or lens coatings, but at some point stuff starts flaking off bad and they get pretty crusty to see through lol.

Maybe call Trace Scope Repair.
They may have one in their inventory to sell?

Don't forget the old Redfields.
