Thread: PECAR 4 x 81 scope

I have just bought a rifle that came with a Pecar 4 x 81 scope on it, old steel tube one. HAs the German post reticle. It is in good condition and clear as a bell, but I am leery of using a scope from the sixties for general duties.

(I actually have two of these now, the other one is beat to hell and looks like it was dragged behind a land rover for thirty miles and then dropped of a cliff. I got it from an actual old deer culler who was using it in 1963...)

I am not sure what to do with it. I suppose I would like to use it unless its going to full apart on me. Were these even supposed to be waterproof? I remember Pecar going out of business about 2008 but this scope must be decades older than that. Or did they make the steel tube 4 x 81 right up to the end?
