Any USMC Lyman Super Targetspot Experts Here?

[Marine A5 Sniper Rifle]

I have recently seen a Springfield 30 - 06 fitted up with a 14x Unertl engraved SNIPER over USMC over the Unertl logo. Very nice condition/looking rifle and scope.

If it is truly engraved, it is a fake. The real 8X ones are roll stamped by Unertl.

Note: USMC did not use 14X Unertl sniper scopes.

There is a Yahoo Unertl Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Unertl/?yguid=216449360 and in their files area they have an example of a faked USMC Sniper scope. They also maintain an extensive serial number listing which contains a number of USMC Sniper scopes. Also lots of Unertl documentation.

there are many many places that are competent and can completely rebuild lyman and unertl

i have talked to them about a alaskan that needed some touch up

i have two rifles scoped, and one is a Model 1922 with a douglas barrel and was done years ago to make a prone gun out of a model 1922, and man does that thing shoot

never tried the 8 power lyman on the 3006. might be interesting
but with the 3006 i shot a clean at camp lejeune with it
way cool, i used the hornady ammo that cmp supplied for the games. great stuff

Great looking rifle with the Lyman scope. I have 3- Model 70 Targets. One has a Unertal scope and the second has a J.W. Fecker. The third one has the period peep sights. I shoot the scoped guns out to 750-yards. The last on, I bought, shot 5 rounds into .290"at 100 yards. It was bedded and free floated, when I recieved it. I guess, the Mod. 70 Targets are my favorite rifles, since, I shot so much Hi-Power in the past at Camp Bullis and all around Texas. Keep em all in the 10-Ring! Devine 308
