    Scopes/Value

    I am contemplating selling a few weapons, a couple of which are Model 54 Winchesters. One has a, 6X fixed Leupold Scope, pre-M8 I believe, S/N 663616W? It is a 6x36mm with duplex cross-hair. My question; is this fixed scope worth considerable more than a Leupold 2X7, that I could replace it with? Condition of both scopes is like new, only fairly old I believe?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks, Mac

    Sell the gun(s) sans scopes because scope depreciation is real. A used Leupold 6x or 2x7x might fetch $150 at best. Just my thoughts.

    Any scope that originally came from the factory with the duplex reticule only dates back to the early 60s at most so its value is going to be based more on condition than on rarity. A like new but older Leupold brings about 50% to 70% of a similar model does new.
