Seeadler Optik 6 x 56mm

I'm posting this from another thread on another forum.

quote:A buddy of mine pulled out an old scope last night that he bought in '95. He's not really much of a gun person, but says he bought it to use on an old Springfield .30-40 Krag he's had forever too. He never used this scope and I'd never heard of or seen them before. It's a Seeadler 6 x 56mm Jagermeister. Most of the stuff I found on-line is all in German so I don't know much about them. Does anyone have info on it? What are the elevation and windage clicks supposed to be? MOA? Mil? What value/click? Anyway, I thought is was kind of neat and he wants to get rid of it. I think the tube is 1" but not positive. The glass is in good shape (no scratches) but I haven't looked through it outside yet to have an opinion on clarity.

Thanks in advance.

I'm interested in buying one of these, so how hard are these to find, and what value is about right for a scope like this?

Thanks!
Jay

    Measure the tube diameter.
    It very likely may be 26mm.
    Rings are scarce and expensive in that size.
    It's advertised as being waterproof.

    Lot of high end/pricy European firearms/scopes/accessories, etc. Aren't sold in the States because there not viable price wise, i.e importers/distributors can't sell them at a profitable markup. See Gary's post on what the one he bought, cost him.

    Likely If you really have to have this specific brand of scope? You are going to have to import it, or have a dealer import it for you, from the fatherland. Time and moneywise it going to wind up costing you a lot more, than a comparable high quality scope thats currently available on the US market.

    I must have misinterpreted your original post?

    " I'm interested in buying one of these, so how hard are these to find"

    I thought you were trying to locate one to buy, an a US dealer?

    I was interested in rarity value in terms of pricing.

    I've looked through them and shot through them. Very, Very nice scopes. Right on par with anything using Schott glass. There may be coatings that you pay extra for as filters or something on the glass to toughen up the surface of the glass (without ruining the resolution) on more modern scopes. But again, very very clear and bright scope. As far as toughness or repeatability, I haven't owned one, let alone gotten to use one long enough to apply some abuse.

    I don't think you would go wrong in getting one.

    Still looking for value of clicks.
