    Vintage Swarovski 3-9x36 scope

    hi guys. I bought a rifle that has an old Swarovski 3-9x36 on it. it's got a bunch of paint rubbed of so its well used. any opinions on these, how do they compare with more modern scopes?

    I've got one that's around 25-30 years old plenty of marks on the out side but still clear and a great scope.
    Another fourm member is borrowing it at the moment so it's still going well.
    Mine has a fine reticle

    oh man I had to brave the rain to get out to the lockup to to get it. it was on a sako m995 but I'm likely to want a high power leupold for it. just need help to decide what to do with the scope

    Back in 89 I was in a small bore rifle club.
    Did a shoot at Reefton and one of the Reeftonites came to see one of there mates there and they had a rifle for show and tell.
    First 7mm08 I'd ever seen on a CMC (very early Howa sort of) with a Swarovski habicht scope on it. We're looking up the main drag of Reefton as you could do back in them days.
    Hands down the clearest scope I can remember looking through. It was clearer than my own eyes.
    Just so bloody crystal clear and sharp
    I will be fair and say I haven't had many really good scopes of my own, or mate's either to compare it to, but it was pretty impressive

    thanks guys. I only picked up the rifle a few days ago and took the scope off right away so havent had a chance to look through it next to anything else to compare. years ago I sold a couple 3x9 meoptas... before I knew what I had... sold them for peanuts too

    Yeah well on closer inspection that scope I'd say it's buggered. It's snuffed it
    I will under great duress take it off your hands for disposal and also offer you some more peanuts and just so you aren't toohard done-by even a pie.
