A couple of months ago I bought a old Texas made Weaver K-3 at a yard sale for $3.
It must have been carried in a scabbard horseback as all the bluing is gone from the top and most off the sides. It has a small dent just behind the elevation knob, perhaps from being dropped, and a little rust spot or two. But the glass and crosshairs are both bright and clear.
Had a scope break on a 22 Mag, so while that one was being replaced, ( thank you Sightron for great customer service) I mounted the K-3.
The K-3 works as good as a new one, and there are a buncha whistle pigs that wish I didn't have it. I guess in reality they aren't wishing anything any more.
This weekend I found a Kabar hunting knife and hatchet set in sharpened but excellent condition, at a yard sale for $10.
A comparable one just sold on Ebay for over $90 and it didn't have the leather scabbard.
