Vintage scopes
I have a kollmorgen bearcub 4x that came on a old rifle.

Whats the story on Kollmorgen? Didnt they merge with redfield or weaver???

Did Kollmorgens have real good lenses? Mine seems pretty nice with a blueish color to the glass as you look at it

They may have been absorbed or bought by Redfield. Later Redfield used the Bear Cub name. Thats almost before my time! Smiler

Get the 'power' or optic that your eye likes instead of what someone else says.

When we go to the doctor they ask us what lens we like!

Do that with your optics.

kollmorgan was bought out by redfield, they were a top grade scope at the time, but compared to todays glass they are way back. coatings were just starting to come in during their time.
