I have an old rifle scope with no markings-one that I have owned at least...oh...at least 20 years anyway. Don't know why I am just now trying to fid out what it is.

It is a fixed power with an approximately 45mm objective and 38mm eyepiece and 31mm (just over 12") in length with a standard 1" diameter tube. It is a "widescreen" or "TV" screen type scope, but the eyepiece and objective are round NOT oval as the old Redfield Widefield scopes were. Has kind of a standard, run of the mill, cross hair-nothing fancy. It's fixed power, and, for an unknown reason, I've always had it in my head that it was 6x, but I have no way of knowing what it is. There is not a single marking or patent number anywhere on the scope and no way to know for sure the magnification. On the opposite side of the windage adjustment is a depression that likely held a glued-in name brand logo or tag, obviously long since gone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Come to think of it, it could possibly be a 10x scope because I noticed today that looking at a 50 yrd target through the scope, or through my 10x field glasses...image sizes were pretty close. Not a whole lot of difference.

Here are a couple photos. (Hopefully it works.) Has anyone seen one of these before or know what it is?

when for whatever reason I can't upload enough or whatever pictures, I typically upload photos to imgur, then get a link and post it here. it's easy and doesn't require me to install anything.

as far your scope, no idea what it is.
 
HAHA, I have one of those :). Let me get home first and Ill see. Its got the labels and what not. PM me if I forget!

At least i think I do. Its what you describe, but the cheaper scopes often come in few sizes. Kind of a standard to reduce production costs maybe?
 
!!! My sticker has been painted over...the entire scope has been. I dont remember it being like that when I put it up! I think its a little different though anyways. I compared them side by side...sorry man.
 
LOL...HA HA, that's funny =)

Thanks for the thought, though.

Oh and no, no markings ANYWHERE.

I think the only reason I'm even interested is it's actually a good darn scope. I took it off my Marlin last year because my son couldn't get the eye relief right. It sat on a shelf for a year. When I put it back on the gun, it went right back to zero. Good repeatability. I always deemed it some versions of a Simmons or Tasco POS, so even though I've had it a decade, I'm newly impressed.
