Lot 185:
Weaver B6 6x Rifle Scope El Paso Texas USA Blued Steel
Description
This lot features a vintage Weaver B6 rifle scope, a classic piece of mid-20th-century optics manufactured in El Paso, Texas. The scope is constructed from blued steel and features a fixed 6x magnification power. The eyepiece is equipped with a knurled focus adjustment ring. The scope retains its top and side-mounted adjustment turrets for elevation and windage, featuring coin-slot adjustment screws. The turrets are clearly marked with “UP” and directional arrows, along with an “L” for lateral adjustment. The tube near the eyepiece is stamped with the following readable text: WEAVER, B6, PATENTED, EL PASO TEX., and USA. The optics feature a standard fine crosshair reticle, which remains centered and intact. This scope was historically popular for use on .22 caliber rimfire rifles due to its slim profile and reliable construction.
Condition report:
The scope is in fair vintage condition with signs of age and use. The blued finish shows visible patches of surface oxidation and rust, most notably on the objective bell (photo 1) and scattered along the rear of the tube (photo 4). Minor surface scratches and finish thinning are present across the main tube. The optics appear relatively clear, though small internal dust motes are visible when looking through the lens (photo 7). The crosshair reticle is intact. The mechanical adjustment turrets and the knurled focus ring appear to be in working order, though they were not tested for precise tracking.
