With some exception, the scope is a family item, it was Grandfathers, he told me it was "military"
in the early 60's i had no idea what a USMC 1941 sniper rifle was, there is a possibility that this came from one, it has a 1.5 million serial number and SA engraved on the scope?? and that number matches a known national match from the right era. Am i saying it is a original sniper scope, NO Way, just a curiosity in life. fine scope and quite accurate also
first three rounds at 100 yards after getting windage set up at 25 and 50 yards, this is the first three rounds out of the new criterion barrel
after 10 rounds at 25 and 50 combined (yeah i did breakin procedures)

did some more shooting and am happy with results at 100 yards, have not even messed with the parralax feature, then switched to 175 grain smk a little hotter shot two and saw that they were a little higher, came down but came down too far shot one and saw that i had gone out the bottom put some elevation back on it and shot three without looking at scope, here is results
