So, I bought this scop in 2005. I can't imagine a 19 year old scope that's been in the field hundreds of times. However, I'm considering buying a new scope just for a few more features and slightly enhanced optics. As you all know, new ones ain't cheap, and any money that could be put towards a new one would help. If it won't fetch anything to actually help, I'll just box it up and put on my son's first rifle, or figure out something to do with it. I just have NO CLUE what it may be worth. Maybe they were sturdier back then and folks pay a premium even though it's old? Maybe it's considered junk at this point? No idea.
It's a VXIII 3.5-10 x 50mm. I think mounts and rings are Leupold as well, and would convey. Probably 6 years ago it fogged up. I sent to Leupold and they went through everything, so it's not really 20 years old, IMO. Holds zero just fine on the 270WSM it's been on this whole time. The detents on one of the turrets are not terribly crisp, so you do need to be very attentive when adjusting it. Definitely not a scope you'll want to do any dialing with.
Thoughts?
