The Bal- series scopes were originally the B&L line that required mounts with windage and elevation. The Bal- B series are basically the same as the Bal- A series scopes with internal adjustments. I have a few of the Bal- B series scopes in 3-9x and 6x, all of] them with fine cross-hair reticles. The reticles are so fine that I find it hard to see them against a dark background, so they are mounted on rifles that I only shoot at the range or hunt with during times of full daylight. I wouldn't pay $120 to $200 for any of those old Bal- series scopes even if they were NIB unless I was a collector..
