Lyman 6x Permacenter Silhouette

Post by Bill » 25 May 2022, 7:19 pm

Hey fella's finally bought myself a proper 6.5 swede on a 98 action and the rifle has an older Lyman 6x p-Permacenter mounted on it. A quick google search shows the Lyman 6x scope to be a metallic silhouette model, its in pretty good nick and has a really nice crisp reticle.

Do people still use these, is it worth anything as I've havent come across 1 before :drinks:

6x seems pretty low for high power - i guess they were inherently lower in a bygone era?
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

Does it have the low turrets or the target turrets? The latter were once quite popular with Hunter Class BR shooters in the light class rifles. Dated now but a very good scope in its time 40 years ago.

Wyliecoyote it has the Target turrets, not sure what I'll do with with it as the cupboard is already full of used scopes, most likely to end up on usedguns as Im sure there will be someone with an appreciations of Yanky glass. :thumbsup:
