What's a sleeper scope? It's kind of like a sleeper car. It performs way better than it looks.
Post up yours, let's see how good (bad?) they are.

Mine is an old 1950s/60s Weaver K4 4x32. It looks like it sat in the mud for who know how long, but the glass is crystal clear and everything functions.

FYI, it's not easy to get a pic through a scope with a cell phone camera....
Also, this is AFTER trying to clean the rust off a few times.

Very clear view! However does it have cross hairs?

It certainly does, but they are so fine and sharp, the camera just wouldn't focus on them. The "shadow" on this image are the crosshairs. Yes it's not centered, yes that was my fault, yes it's hard to take a pic through a scope with a phone.
