Value of a Springfield scope

Fisher · March 22, 2015, 08:32 AM

I bought a new Springfield M1A about 10 years ago and also bought this scope with it. I sold the M1A a few years later and the person didn't want the scope. So it has been sitting in the back of my safe for several years now. I have been thinking about selling it but to be honest I have no idea what they are worth these days. It was mounted on the M1A but there was less then 50 rounds through the gun while it was mounted. The tube is 30mm and the zoom ring is nice and tight. What you see below is what is written on the scope.

Springfield Armory
4x14x56 1st Generation
Government Model
7.62 MM U.S. Pat. D306173

Any help on the value of this scope would be helpful.

They seem to bring around $400 most of the time

Snyper, thank you for the response. I appreciate you letting me know what you have seen out there. I am still on the edge about selling the scope. If I decide to post it, it will be here at the Firing Line.
