U.S Made Weaver K6-1 32mm 4X Fixed Focus Vintage Hunting Scope with Mounts. OPT 813. - OPT 813 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. This scope measuring 34cm in length the single-piece matte black finished 1in tube body is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminium, the same material Weaver has chosen for its turret caps. Metal surfaces show some minor age-related marks. The optics remain bright and clear and feature a cross-hair style recticle. All lenses are multi-coated to cut down on glare and aid in light gathering and the turret adjustment is the usual 60 clicks for one full rotation, each individual click equating to ¼in at 100 yards. In good overall condition for its age, with various minor age-related marks. The lenses are unmarked. A collectible scope for the professional/enthusiast. The price includes UK delivery. OPT 813. £245.00
