Weaver Scopes for the budget minded hunters and shooters The Weaver gun scopes were very popular and many of them were sold to the average hunters and shooters. The Kahles model scopes were advertised in 1961 and did have variable powered scopes in the 2 to 7 and 3 to 9 power and looked very much like the modern scopes of today. In the advertisements of 1961 Weaver was still advertising the KV model in the adjustable power 3 x 5 powers. By the mid-1960s the rifle scope would become a highly refined addition to the hunting and shooting enthusiast. They like many of the other scope companies did not really get into the traditional variable style scopes until the early 1960s. My father had one of those exact scopes mounted on his Savage 99 in the 1970s and it did work okay. It looked like there were three adjusting knobs in place for that particular model. The adjustment for power was by the adjusting knobs for elevation and windage.

They advertised in 1954 a variable powered scope that was a 3 to 5 power. For most of the 1950s and 60s they were one of the more popular rifle scopes of that era. They were pretty streamlined and not too bad to look at. They were a good basic all-around scope that the average hunter or shooter could afford. The Weaver scopes of the 1950s and 60s would be a very popular scope for hunting rifles and to some extent for target shooting.
