I have a old COLT 3(?)x20 carry handle scope, I had heard there are  Israeli Defense Force 3x20 scopes out there, what can you guys tell me about these?  Are these any good?

There as good as what is obvious.  The glass isn't as nice as newer scopes, the mount is not ideal, but if you can get it tight enough, it'll work. Some people have to shim it, because there may be a little slop between the mount and the carry handle.  Mine has slop.  Someone suggested using a slice off of an aluminum can to get it tight.  Not a bad idea.  And there is a BDC, obviously.  I have some kind of copy and the BDC turret actually worked, but I only tested it at 25 meters.  So I don't know if it would coincide very well with the longer ranges and actually stay consistently vertical.  Supposedly they were not made by Colt but overseas.  That's all I can tell you.
