*Vintage c1970* Weaver USA 15mm B4 Fixed Focus Rifle Scope with Proprietary Mounts. OPT 859. - OPT 859
Founded in 1930 by the visionary William R. Weaver, the company is credited with bringing riflescopes to the mainstream. The very first Scope, model 3-30, came complete with a Weaver scope mount. Weaver started the company in Kentucky in 1930 following the completion of a contract with the state of Indiana to produce license plates. He designed and produced the tooling himself and did all the manufacturing on site, including grinding his own lenses and machining the parts. The company was a near instant success that revolutionized the shooting industry by putting magnified optics into the reach of average American hunters. In 1933, he moved the business to El Paso, Texas. By 1940, the company had become the largest producer of riflescopes and mounts in the world. The Weaver story includes many hallmarks. From the part they played in finally making scopes affordable to hunters, to their part in the war effort, to their ingenuity of design and function in shooting optics. This15mm B4 Fixed Focus Rifle Scope is in good overall condition, just showing some age-related wear. The crosshair lenses are undamaged. Measuring 29cm in length. Marked to the mounts ‘WEAVER .22 TIP-OFF U.S.A.’ The price for this collectable scope includes UK delivery. OPT 859.

*Vintage* Lyman ‘All American Hunting Scope’ USA 34mm 4X Fixed Focus (No Mounts) OPT 857. - OPT 857
The proud tradition and history of Lyman Products began simply in the late 1800’s when William Lyman, an avid outdoorsman and inventor, created a product that resolved problems with gun sights of his day. The commonly used vernier sights were adequate for daytime shooting, but almost useless if lighting was not perfect. Lyman’s No. 1 Tang Sight featured a small disc and a large aperture, a combination that made the thin rim almost invisible and greatly improved the shooter’s vision. His patented design launched the Lyman Gun Sight Company, and today, the Lyman tang and receiver sights still utilise the same principles originated over 137 years ago to enhance both the sight picture and the speed of aiming. This c1980 34mm 4X fixed focus reticule crosshair rifle scope is all steel, showing minor age-related scuffs. The lenses are scratch free. The price for this collectable scope includes UK delivery. OPT 857.
