Because the guns were so heavy there was absolutely no recoil and with the 24 power scopes the squirrels looked like the size of bears in the scope. I remember taking one of those two Remington rifles to my in-laws farm and shooting squirrels and chipmunks with those rifles. They were both from the s era and were in really top notch condition. I had two Remington model 40x target guns with 24 power scopes that a gentleman brought into our shop in Northeast Pennsylvania for us to sell. I had the pleasure of shooting a few Remington 40x target rifles and also a few Winchester 52 target rifles that were mounted with the Unertl target scopes. They would produce target scopes from the 8 power to 24 powers, and I considered them a great line of target scopes. Unertl scopes from the s and 60s era were probably the prominent target scope made in that era. Here's how the marking on the turret correspond to the trajectory of M ammo: Here's the coarse turret setting at yards: Lastly, I will mention one "urban legend" I heard at Quantico regarding the Unertl 10X sniper scope.Classic Unertl Scopes. It was also somewhat advanced with a BDC ballistic drop calculator built-into the elevation dial for use with M match ammo, marked from to yards. It was the first scope to use a Mil-Dot reticle - and that reticle design concept has impacted all subsequent U. As I noted on my thread re the history of M14 military optics, the Unertl 10X was not intended for the M14 - but it was a revolutionary scope.

Non-issued Unertl scopes sold commercially in the early s, after the original company had been acquired. I am not sure how many of these scopes were made, but they are quite rare. Canadian issued military scope marked "C3 Sniper.

I am not sure about serial range, but they seem to fall into the 2 to 3k range USO Optics made a slight design improvement and used coil springs instead of leaf spring in the mechanism, and the finish was also improved somewhat.įoreign military issued: 7. I think these had the upgraded coil springs rather than the original leaf-springs in the turrets. They improved the seals and made a few minor improvements to make them more durable in the field. The range markings extended out to yards for the 50 BMG, instead of yds on the original scope for the M40A1.
#Classic unertl scopes serial number#
These seem to have serial number range of "5XXX" - but I have not studied this in depth.

With that said, the following information is provided, but is open for correction or rebuttal! Scope blocks are also called scope bases. These may need mounts which constitute "specials", which we cannot take on at this time We have many old Unertl and Lyman mount charts for reference - including info that is confusing, contradictory, out-of-date, or just plain wrong!Īdditional technical scope block information We certainly do not claim to know everything in this field, but with experience, many trends have become visible. If we don't know, we'll just say so! There are a lot of shooters and shooting forums where the information you are seeking may or may not! Many less-common scopes, sights, and rifles are out there. When we have information that we believe is correct, we're glad to pass it along. We are not familiar with every possible combination of obscure rifles and sights or scopes being mounted on them. We do not carry any products for the "modern" Weaver or Picatinny sort of mounts.

On-line ordering of scope blocks could be problematic due to the vast range available. Prices are for individual blocks, except for Springfield and Mann-Neidner blocks which are priced as a set.
