I just love those yard sale finds.
I mounted a $3 yard sale scope today. It is a old Weaver K-3. It has a small dent just behind the height adjustment knob and about 75% of the blueing is gone, but the glass and crosshairs was clear, so at three bucks I had to at least give it a try . I needed a scope anyway, so I bought it. Good chance the old Weaver tip off rings and mounts that were on it are worth $3.
It works as good as a new one, as far as I could tell at the range today.
Few short weeks ago the 3X9 on my 22 WMR failed. It is a lifetime warranted scope but is still laying in a box ready for the post office, so I had not been shooting the 22WMR at all.
I think I just might take a look see if the whistle pigs are still up and about tomorrow.
