The fix power/magnification Bal- series scopes had names related to the specific magnification;
Baltur = 2.5x
Balfor = 4x
Balsix = 6x
Baleight =8x
I've only seen the Baleight in the A series that were externally adjusted. In the early 1990's I hooked up with the late Fred Warren from Cleveland, OH, who was widely regarded as the leading expert on B&L scopes and mounts at that time. Fred recommended that I should buy all of the Bal- series scopes that I could find at a fair price and send them to B&L's repair center in Compton, CA, for free, expect for shipping, servicing or replacement, since they had an unqualified lifetime warranty. That all came to an abrupt end when the Rodney King riots burned out the B&L facility, destroying all of the repair parts, and Bushnell consolidated repair/replacement activities in Overland Park, KS.
That's it! Thanks for reminding me 260.
I did not know that facility was burned down. Jeez......
