It's a decent old scope if the lenses are not delaminated. It was the first "budget" scope with an AO. They are easy to work on and clean, just don't break the real crosshairs. IN ANIB condition they will bring $150.00, an average used one $50.00. I had one on a 722 222 as a kid and killed 100s of woodchucks and other varmints with it. 27 gr of original Ball C and a 52 gr Sierra benchrester HP. Bang...... KaaaThop !
I bought one in 1961 new to go on a Sako 222 mag. I did break the real crosshair one time and had to send it in to be fixed.
I assume it's a "El Paso" ? (stamped as such?)
I have a K10 El Paso on a Ruger #3, while it's a bit large for that small rifle, the scope tube is long enough to correct the position of the far forward mounts that plague the #3 (yeah, I suppose I could just buy a scout type scope). The internals of this K10 El Paso are crystal clear, but has issues with the outer bluing finish on a few spots. I paid $75 for it at a gunshow, probably 7 to 10 years ago. I suspect it could be worth more than that now (it is NOT for sale) ...I've seen other examples of the K10 on the popular auction website listed for nearly $200, but who knows if they sold for that much?

Bought one brand new from Target in 1972 and used it on my varmint rifle for a long time. A good scope.
I had a K8 on a custom 22-250 that was a great scope. Rifle and scope were stolen in a burglary.
