One more try,

Anyone Know what a Older Weaver K3 E is?

Looks Like a K3 60-B, which is a good old scope









Im trying to find out if this K3 E is a good scope, Maybe just a newer model, or if it is a lesser quality than the K3 60 B

Does the sufex leters- 60B, E, C just designte the type rectical-Post, cross etc

The 60B was Weaver's first scope with permanently centered reticle. The C, E and F followed the 60B in production. I have also seen a few 60C models. It has always been my understanding that the main difference between the 60B and the C,E & F were that the 60B used a metal lens ring on the end of the scope to hold the lens in place while most, if not all, the others used plastic rings. As far as I know the lenses are the same in all of them.

I don't ever remember seeing a 60B with a duplex type reticle from the factory, just plain crosshair or post. I'm not sure if they were offered with a dot or not but I know some of the others were. I have seen duplex and plain type crosshairs as well as pots type on C-3 and F models. I really don't know much about the E model but would assume it is probably much like the F series. It also has the same scope adjustment caps that are found on the C and F models.

If it were mine I'd mount it on a rifle and enjoy shooting with it.

Thanks Idared,

I only have 3 nice old K4s with brass lens rings
1 K3 60-B with metal or aluminum lens rings

Mine are all post recticle

Looking for another K3 or 2.5 and a older v4.5

I have gotten rid of all my earlier K series scopes and today only use three K2.5-1s, two K3-1s and a couple of V4.5-IIs all with Duplex style crosshairs for my ancient eyes.

I always liked the K2.5 and K3 scopes because they were so tough. I have replaced my K4s with Leupold M8-4s as they have gotten pretty reasonable in the latter years.
