Hi guys. Recently I swapped my no longer used LEE press etc because I have now aquired a RCBS press Lyman powder throw,and Hornady balance scale.
Anyway. the reason for this post is that what i swapped the Lee gear for,I swapped it for a scope, I liked the look of the glass and I thought it was a fair swap. the name of the scope is `NIMROD ` TELE 6 X 40 L64-TR Koor trade.
apparently its a rare scope and is the type used by the Israeli defence force.
Actualy its not of much use to me because the minimum setting on the scope is 200 yards,for which I dont often get access to.and so I wondered what its worth,any of you guys have any idea?

Re: rare scope
Lifted from elsewhere:
'ISRAELI ARMY NIMROD SNIPER SCOPE VERY RARE ORIGINAL Israeli Armed Forces Issue This milspec Nimrod scope was specifically designed for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) made by a subsidiary of Koor Industries, an Israeli firm. The scope is an actual Israeli army war relic – not a commercial copy. Bullet drop compensated for the .308/7.62 NATO M118 Sniper round. It has a magnification of 6-power. Objective diameters are 40mm. The field of view is 19.6 meters at 300 meters (3 degrees 45 feet). The eye relief is about 3 inches. There are two auxiliary crosses, one for aiming at 900 and 1,000 meters, the other for high-trajectory ammunition. Range estimation with the reticle pattern duplicates that of the (Dragnov). At the bottom of the field of view is a baseline below five short steps. The step closest to the baseline is marked '10' for 1,000 meters, while the farthest is marked '2' for 200 meters. The three steps in between correspond to 800, 600 and 400 meters in ascending order. Just align the target's groin with the baseline and match the top of his head with the appropriate step. Dial the correct distance into the range drum on top of the scope calibrated in 50-meter clicks from 200 to 800 meters for 7.62x51mm M118 match ammunition and fire away. The windage, located on the scope's left side, provides five mils of adjustment to the right or left in 1/2-mil increments. This method is simple, quick, reliable, adequately accurate and requires a minimum of instruction.” The scope is marked on the core as follows: "NIMROD" TELESCOPE 6X40 CAT.NO.L64-TR NO. 1088219 KOOR TRADE'
I believe they were used before they started using Kahles scopes.
No idea of value. Sorry. You could contact these guys: http://www.israelmilitary.com/

Col shouldn't your quote read "God made man, Sam Colt made them equal." ?
Re: rare scope
Any chance of a picture Col? I am curious as I have not come across this 'scope before.
Re: rare scope
I think that this scope was probably originally purchased with a Galil rifle back in the good old days when we were trusted to own and shoot self loading rifles. Back then some of the practical rifle boys favoured the Galil which was quite an expensive rifle in those days.
