I keep a close eye on the local pawn/sports shop here in SW Montana and today that paid off (again).
A Rifle/scope came out of pawn and the owner of the shop took the scope off of the Rifle to sell them seperately.
I bought the scope more as a curiosity than as something to use - mainly because it was SO dang heavy!
The scope is a Weaver all steel V9-1 Model and it is a 3 by 9 variable with adjustable objective!
I weighed it on my scale and it came to 21 full ounces and a fraction more!
A similar Leupold scope weighs 12 ounces!
I guess I had just never handled one of these Weaver V9-1 scopes before - its heft was like that of a medium size hammer!
I could not believe how heavy it is.
Anyway I got it home and cleaned it up good and took it outside to check for parallax and clarity (again).
The adjustable objective is marked thusly:
50 yards - 100 yards - 200 yards - 1,000 yards!
The adjustable objective system completely wipes out ANY parallax - at least in the 50 to 200 yard distances!
And the clarity of image and brightness was VERY good.
I am hoping this model has the perma-center feature of later scopes.
I am now planning on putting this scope on a vintage Remington 722 I own.
Anyone have any information on these Weaver V9-1 scopes?
Like when they were made - what increments are the scope adjustment divisions equal to - etc etc etc.
Thanks in advance
