    Just what are you looking for in the way of information? Values, most any of those can be had in the neighborhood of $40 if in really good condition, which I gather a couple of yours are not. Years made and so on, I will have to get closer to the book. Weavers were the Fords of scopes in an era when Fords were about as good as you could do, unless you went Mercedes. Prices were modest then and now. Todays scopes have lens coatings never dreamed of when these were made.

    The B 6 is a 6x scope, the K2.5 is a 2.5x scope (I have one on a Savage 99). The other I do not recall for sure, but I don't think 298 is a model number.

    Could the 298 be a 29 S maybe? If so it's a 3X, value $100.00.

    no. it is 298. it has two tiny knurled adjustment knobs about the size of a pencil eraser at 11:oo and 1:oo position

    I can't find anything on a 298,your description fits the 29S to a tee. Get a magnifying glass out and check the # close. the S is closed very tight on the ends.

    He Dog, My father just handed down his 99F to me with the same scope on it. Were they a package deal in the 60's. My gun was MFG in 1960.

    As near as I can tell, W. R. Weaver did not produce a scope model 298. I too have to suggest 29S. Value $100-$200.

    The B6 Weaver is the series made for 22 rimfires. I'm pretty sure the eye relief would be too short for use on a muzzleloader

    rstbkt69, I don't think so. As near as I can tell several models in that time frame were bored and tapped for mounts, but Murray gives no indication of factory packages with Weaver scopes. That said, it is certainly possible that either a distributor or a retailer offered such packages. It is probably more likely they were purchased seperately and the scope mounted at the shop at the time of purchase.

    You understand this was all WAY before my time, right?

    A lot of 99s were bored and tapped, before the factory provided them that way, but local smiths. I have one with a bubba job of boring, but at least the holes line up properly.

    Heck I thought everyone was around at that time. The mounts on this one look like a factory job. They rails are short and don't block the receiver. Nice looking job.
