[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2747966, member: 7157"] According to Nick Stroebel's "Old Gunsights And Rifle Scopes", Realist Inc. made scopes from 1965 to about 1974. What you have is the 3-9X Variable, Model No. 5951, which was made all during the company's run. FOV of 34.0-12.0 feet at 100 yards, luminosity of 144-16, eye relief of 3.0-5.0 inches, and bullet drop compensation to 450 yards. The factory set the parallax to 200 yards, and the micro dial graduations are 1" per graduation at 100 yards. Interestingly, in 1968 the company reached an agreement with Jim Leatherwood to produce the first American-made ART. In 1971, this scope stickered at a retail value of $129.50. That would be about $750 in today's dollars. [/QUOTE]
