Vortex has discontinued the Crossfire 1X muzzleloader scope. I just got one on Amazon for $90 delivered. I bought it to use in lieu of iron sights on the self & home defense AR I'm going to build. No magnification- perfect for close range shooting. Best, Thomas.
Good buy!
I picked up an El Paso Weaver K1.5 a few weeks back. It is being cerakoted. I may try it on my AR but I really bought it for the .338 WM Mauser. The polar bears are bad in North Texas...
Yeah, till the hogs wipe them out.... That K1.5 is a gem. I use a K2.5 on my .358 Win and just today shot a 1-1/8" 3 shot group @100yds. I had a 10/22 with a K1.5 back in the day and running Jacks had a problem. Best, Thomas.Quote:

The clearer image alone could make the difference sometimes. Best, Thomas.

Weaver K1.5 on Mark 10 .338 Win Mag. Scope has Cerakote finish matching the rifle.
Greetings
That dull black is a fine finish for a scope ! You ever drop that rifle on a dark night you better have a metal detector handy to find it.

That should work well.
I used to use a 1.75x Redfield back in the 80's...liked it a lot. I dumped that scope as it was like most of the old Weaver's, just too dark as compared to the present day scopes.
Actually, I have been planning to buy another scope of that type, but it will probably be 1-4x.
One word. Excellent!Quote:

From 22 to 375H&H, 12g shotguns. Some of these scopes have been on same gun 50yrs. Never
had any trouble with them. I did buy them all new. It is true that new scopes are brighter, but
not enough to me to peel them off and buy new ones. It would be a toss up between the 375H&H
and a 870, 12g for thump on the scope, I tend to think 870 is worse. You can't give me a varible
the only gun I had to put a Varible on was a Ruger #3-375Win. Was the only scope I had laying
around that I could get to work out for eye relief in the limited movement, even with offset rings.
My BA rifles of 30/06, 270, ect have 4x scopes, a few 6x. Varmit guns 8x to 16x all straight powers. Every thing I have bought in last 25 yrs, new, were Leupolds.Attachment 189575
Thanks! :DQuote:

Camera land has the vortex 1x scope for$59. I put one on my turkey gun.
That's a great deal. Jump on it guys!
About a year and some change back at a gunshow a guy had at his table a large array of Weaver K series scopes all layed out to sell, This guy was a regular...got things at auctions and turned them over at the show. He was wanting $60 on some of his K series scopes but he hadn't sold any all weekend. I think I ended up with 3 or 4 Weaver K's with good glass and reticles from him for $100 or so for the lot. One is the somewhat rare K1 with a micro dot I think they call it...or micro trac? just has a dot. I plan on putting this on a 9mm carbine I'm building up in lieu of a red dot. I have a 2.5 power still set aside for something later down the road but the 4x is on my beloved 77/357 currently. May swap it out for a Vortex 1-8 power or something down the road with MOA or mrad markings but for now its working out very well.
Well!!................ I see none of you guys make your scope do double duty watching the moon and stars ! ;-)
