Depends on the age of the scope. I think the early ones had the finger tip adjustments. They did -
4 x 32, 4 x 40, 2.5-8 x 36, 3.5-10 x 40, 3.5-10 x 50, 4-12 x 42pa and 1.5-5 x 20. Nearly forgot the 6.5-20 x 50 Did i miss any? Mach 1.5
Anyone clued up on the WTC range?
I currently have two here, a 3.5-10x40 and a 3.5-10x50.
I notice the x40 has screwdriver/coin adjustable turrets and the x50 has finger adjustable.
I thought they were all finger adjustable.
The finish and turret caps are slightly different too. Were there changes during production?

I had a x44 pa, forgot the zoom range
I also had the 2.5-8 - wish i'd kept that one, great little scope.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
I've never seen a 2.5-8x36 for sale. Sounds like a handy size.
A lot depends on the age of the scopes as the original ones were made in the Philippines but production switched to China I believe as did the production of the glass.There were also design changes on switch over I love these scopes I have six or seven of them and must say I prefer them over some of my high end scopes. The Chinese ones are still good but not in the same boat as the original ones.
There is also the 1.5-5 x20 which is a cracking little scope, now going for around £100.
Both my WTC are marked Philippines but there are slight detail differences. Due to age by the sound of it.
Very early models had the slotted/screwdriver turrets. The Mk2 versions had the finger adjustable turrets - certain models were phased out early in the Mk2 range, making them quite sought after to collectors.
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation
I've got one here that a friend gave me - it says 'Model 800055 Philippines SC' on the bottom.
It's a 3.5-10x50 with the mottled finish and finger adjustable turrets.
It's a nice scope but, I don't know much about it.
All of the above.
Not a WTC, but the Simmons – 1.5-5x32 "Shotgun" scope really good for close up stuff like ratting I can clearly see my feet with mine.
