Unertl sniper scopes serial number#
This Springfield Model 1903A1 rifle was manufactured in 1939 and subsequently non-military fitted with a USMC 8 power Unertl sniper scope serial number 1406. M1903A1 Springfield Bolt Action Rifle with Unertl "USMC-SNIPER" Telescopic Sight and Micarta Can I hope I get to know some of the members here, and can both contribute and learn from one another for years to come.Condition: Other Make: Springfield Armory Barrel Length: 24 inch round Model: 1903A1 Caliber: 30-06 Stock Material: Solid Wood Serial #: 1530555 Low Estimate: 4,000 High Estimate: 7,000 U.S. I'm not sure if I will build a clone M40A1, hold off for a Barrett (416 for CA) or put it on something else, but for not I have it on our mantle. What Is really cool is that I believe if I were to zero this at 300 years, you could use the BDC and fine adjustments to be on target from 100-500 yards based on the numbers I saw and calculations I ran. I found two tables for 50 cal, and two tables for the 30 Cal scopes as well. Can anyone confirm?Īfter some searching, I was able to find some information about the BDC. Besides the modified 30 Caliber to 50 Caliber conversions, I believe this would be the first scope in the series, since the 30 Cal Scopes started at 1001, can we assume 50 cal started at 5001. They have not come up recently at the auctions, but when I saw SN 5001, I went for it. I've been keeping an eye on the CMP Unertl Scopes for a long time now, and had decided I wanted an original (non US Optics Modification) 50 Caliber Scope. I always thought part of the allure of the scope was the fact that you couldn't purchase them. Whoever I spoke with was kind enough to mail me some catalogs which were just paper copies of their available scopes. I actually called Unertl Optics to see if I could buy one, this must have been late 90's and I believe it was his John Unertl's wife who said they didn't sell them to the public (not that I could have afforded one if they did). Every since I read Marine Sniper in middle school, I was fascinated by the Unertl scopes. I now work in the biotech industry in Souther California, and enjoy regularly going to the range with my wife where we shoot everything from handguns and carbines to my long range rifles up to 338 Lapua (Desert Tech).Īlthough I was not a sniper, I always found their equipment and operations interesting, I think it was my interest in precision equipment and shooting.

I was an enlisted US Marine from 2002-2007, and used the GI Bill to attend college. I have gathered a lot of information about precision shooting over the years from this site, and finally joined today.
