In 1960, the Weaver K series were common middle of the road scopes. When I was growing up in New Hampshire, Weaver K2.5s and K3s with the Post-Crosshair (PCH) reticles were very common. The more "well to do" hunter who I knew, or knew of, generally used B&Ls, Redfields, and (occasionally) Unertls.
The first two scopes that I owned were a K3 (PCH) on a Ruger 44 International and a V7 (Duplex) on a Remington 660 in 6mm. Still have the rifles and the scopes, but the scopes are in tote boxes and the rifles are mounted with Leupolds, a Vari-X III 1.5-5x20 on the Ruger and a Vari-X IIc 2-7x28 of the 660.
I think that the oldest scope that I still have mounted on a hunting rifle is a Lyman Alaskan on a Savage 1920 that once belonged to Larry Koller.
