Remember Kassnar?

For the older members, do you remember these.

Some had excellent optics, some not so good, the best ones were the Beta 3's.

I have a few and I'm always after others if anyone has any knocking about.

Only recently sold my Beta 3 as a mate needed a period optic but I still have a 2-7x32 WA/PA/BDC on a 77 and can’t fault it. My mate has the 6-18x40 and it’s a stunning old optic.
Well worth buying if you get a chance at one at a decent price.

I had a Beta 3 4x32 with the built in spirit level, the optics on it were superb, I do remember they weren't cheap

I still have the Swarovski Habicht 4x32 I bought from Westbury Guns in 1985 for the (then) princely sum of £240

I've got two, one is on top of my FWB 300, thinks its a 2-7 x 32 AOWA or something like that, think the one just lying wrapped up is a 4 x 32 WA, I will have a look tonight, its in nice condition also.

[AC all day]

I have had a few from the Vista scope range through to the Beta 3 and even the latter Churchill range.....I would love to find another 4x18x40 again still regret selling it.....I still have a boxed never used 4x40 with the sniper reticle, way ahead of its time .....

Yes, think that was the one I had - 4x32WA had a 'TV screen' if I recall

Got a couple myself. Lovely scopes. Back in the day the Beta 3 3-9 x 42 was £177 and a HW80 was £115. No wonder they didn't sell many 3-9's Mach 1.5

Airgun World July 1988. Beta 3 4 x32 £129. 6 x42 £143. 3-9 x 42 £217. HW80 / K £119. Mach 1.5

This was it with the target turrets and adjustable objective.

I have a spare 4x32 WA wrapped up on the shelf,lol

One of my mates had a very similar 3-9 scope to that on his rimfire. I had a couple of vista scopes, I sold one 4x40 along with an old Webley Vulcan last year. The optics still looked pretty good, with a very wide angle and noticeably less fussy about precise eye relief. These were made in Japan I think?
