Who here has the oldest scope they are actually still carrying into the woods? Since I just started deer hunting I will only be in the lead of this contest for one post with my 2014 Leupold.

I've got a Tasco World Class that came on my .243 Weatherby Vanguard when I bought it from a guy in about 2000 if not before. The rifle and scope are still the most accurate I own.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I’ve got a 30y old scope on an old ruger ranger youth that we bought at Walmart back in the day. My son is hunting with it this year. Still kills deer like the day we put it on.

I have several from the early to mid 80s and I still hunt with a Nikon and rifle I bought in 92. I only have 1 scope newer than the Nikon.

children..

I still shoot a pre-war (WWII) German Ajakenkroll scope. 7.5 fixedX55mm with a very heavy post. 80+ year old scope, refurbished in 1970. Hell of a low light scope.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Mid-70’s Kahles Super 6 S2 mounted on a ‘77 Weatherby Mark V.....that tragically burned up in the great flood of 2007.

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

Have a fixed 8x56 Schmidt &Binder that I bought in the late 80's. Scope came apart on the inside several years ago, sent it back to them and they completely rebuilt it for a quater of the price of a new one.

I think the oldest I have is a WEST GERMAN Schmidt Bender. It’s also one of my favorites

Redfield wideview.

My mother bought it and the 742 woodmaster for my dad for their 1st anniversary in 72’.

I still take it out a couple times a year.

My grandfather gave me my 30-30 back in 78, I think. It stil has the same scope that was on it when he gave it to then (took it to the range a few months back and shot it for the 1st time in about 25 years, and it's still dead on)

I got dad's Sako FinnWolf .308 when he passed away and from the little research I have done on it, I think it is a '64 vintage rifle with the original Sako scope and ringss.

I have a Kahles fixed 8 56mm that I’ve hunted with for the last 22-23 years. It’s a 80s model I’m guessing maybe older but it’s rarely off unless I do something really stupid.
