There has been 2 runs of scopes made buy leupold, but all they did was take a Vari X 3 scope, dye it green and put Redfield on the eyepiece. Not attractive.

The pic in post 9 indicates they are shooting a long way!
Interesting thing, the scope rings are only about 2" apart (I'm guessing) but they are clearly too close for the adjusting ring to work...
Night force scopes are mounted on 300 win mags and USO holds no current Military contracts for scopes on 308 rifles.
The listed scopes are the issue scopes for the rifles in question. You will...

I was at the USASOCOM sniper match last week and talked with the guys from Remington, they said they are just way behind due to open contracts, the 24's are coming just slow.
I do have a question,...
Be careful of the dimensions in Brophy's book, the numbers are off.
These are not Mann mounts on this scope
Saw the scope at SHOT, it looked real good, except the rings, not bad but Not Unertlish enough.
It looked pretty clear, the real question is will it hold up to constant adjustment of the objective...
The 338 Lap will fit in a Long action rifle unless you want to seat the bullets out.
The 338 Norma can not be the same as the 338 Lap. Less powder always means lower velocities, its simple...
The most desirable are the green but even the Marines had some replacements that were black.
All the Air Force Nam era scopes were black, I have 2 ABGD (Air Base Ground Defense) rifles that have...
Gunny, can you elaborate? I have been around Snipers, Sniper rifles and Sniping technology for the last 30 years and I have never heard of anything called a Kate.

Of the few "Matching" (Tongue in cheek) W&S scopes/Rifles I have seen they ALL have the serial number in an erratic row, not well ordered as Jim mentioned.

I have a good handle on all the US snipers rifles and most of the foreign ones and I have never heard of a Kate. I have one sniper buddy (Army) that named hie rifle Nina.
Its just typical...

There where 2 scopes used prior to the M48, The B&L M48 60 mm and the Argus 55 mm. They were very similar and both used.

1 shot,
I think I know where we are off on the swivel topic, if you measure the swivel inside to inside its about 1.5" but the flat that the sling sits on is 1.25" so they are called 1.25"

I still have some of the retro ring/base sets we made for Remington and Chuck Mawhinny if you want to get closer.
Where did you find the Brown case? I have the green version for the A1 but have...
The Unertl is a bad idea, the scope must be reset after the recoil of each shot, not to mention how the heck would you put a Unertl on a Garand??? there is no correct mount.
YES..YES...YES... you...
Hi,
What do you mean Forge marks?

Sorry KB, a 10 round mag will not be forthcoming, the latches make it impossible to make the mag longer.
Marty
Badger Ordnance
Does the magazine have latches on both sides? If it does there is no 10 rd mag available for it. if its an HS guard there are 10 rounders available from HS.
Can you shoot a pic?
