The ranger scale would then show the yardage. As you can see below the idea was to adjust the zoom ring until the two top stadias fit with the top on a man’s shoulders and the bottom on his belt. The reticle was standard crosshairs but there was also a range ladder to the right side with two extra horizontal stadias. The Redfields were had a range finding capability. Below is an example of how things got mixed up. As a result most of them could not be dialed up to 1,000 yards. Of course once the guns got to Vietnam, things got taken apart and mixed up and precious kept the scope/base/gun matching. This gave the scope its 40plus minutes left over and allowed the scope to dial up to shots at 1,000 yards. Remington had very carefully zeroed the optics to as to nearly bottom out at 100 yards with only a few clicks lefter over.
#UNERTL 10X WITH MIL DOTS SERIAL#
the optic and mounts were all marked with the same serial number. When the M40 came from Remington originally the rifle. I like to think most of our readers are already familiar with the M40 and Redfield 3x-9x optics since I’ve covered it a few times already.
It is an evergreen topic for most people interested in US martial arms, sniping and long range shooting anyway so I thought I would touch on it a little more today before my longer article on the Unertl 10X USMC sniper optic some times next week( hopefully). Friends keep asking me about the subject and it has come up a lot this month.
Lately my mind has been stuck on Vietnam war era sniper optics and rifles.
