[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Colt 3X20 scope

Posted: 7/21/2011 4:38:29 PM EDT

I'm looking at going to an auction that has a 3x20 colt scope, what's a good price or one of them? It looks to be in pretty good shape. I'll be fighting hard to bring it home with me :)

Check the other threads here about the variety of 3X20s. Price will vary quite a bit depending on when it was made, and where.

The early Colt 3x20 scope will have Made in USA on them. The later ones were made in Japan.

Depending on the type of auction you are going to (estate or gun sale) you may be able to get it for dirt cheap, depending on who knows what there.

I paid $100 for mine over a year or so out of the EE.

ETA: After looking at the pic VAAR posted a while back I think mine is the early Chinese one.

I paid around $75 for a later one.
It was pretty beat up but looks great on my IDF carbine.

I have an M16A1 upper with a hydramatic barrel that's really itching for some glass. If I make a carbine then it'd probably move over... but I'm getting ahead of myself, have to win it first.
