Saw this on ebay and thought I'd post it here for anyone that might be interested.
VIETNAM 60's 70's COLT RIFLE SCOPE 3X20 USSF, RECON SF I don't know that much about these Colt scopes but I've heard you guys talk about them - says this one is Japanese.

Do you guys think that the Colt is authentic? It's only at $76 with a little over a day left. Serious bidders don't get in until the end. Also it's not the earliest version. +1 I got one out of the EE within the last 3 months for under $100. (can't remember the exact $$ amount, but it was under $100) Nice scopes, & am gonna have to watch this one. Thanks for the heads up. |

Jeesh There was one nicer than that last year for $3200. Beware the word, servicable.

I'm not sure exactly how old mine is, can't recall when I got it. 3x20. Japanese.
Step up twice from the exit to entry lenses. Straight screws hold the bracket to the body, not Philips. All the adjustment screws (and the cap over the range adjustment adjustment screw) have a crescent moon cutout on one side. Purpose unknown but a 5.56mm cartridge rim fits.

You know - the Japanese are usually pretty good at mimicking things - you'd think they could have found a straight slot screw contractor for the screws. The Phillips heads are rather glaring when you know they are incorrect for the piece.  Granted some may not, myself included until I began reading about them here.

| Its not just the screws. The tube itself appears to be a 4x Colt scope style tube instead of the one used in the 3x scopes. The magnification is printed above the logo instead of below it and as someone mentioned the slots in the adjustment knobs do not have a slot for the base of a 5.56 cartridge as the real Japanese 3x Colt scopes do. |

I've never seen a real colt scope that used phillips head screws......I say it's a fake  What threw me is the fact that the tube is almost completely straight, save for that little step down towards the eye piece. All the Colt 3x20's I've seen have a step down towards the front as well. ETA: I see some of you saw the same thing. |
