You guys still in here arguing because I didn't name any names???? Jeeezus!
I can tell you that I setup a side stage at a Rimfire match I put on recently with the March on my rifle for the sole purpose of getting people behind it. The guy that stands out the most was blown away by this optic and actually wanted to put his TT on the bench next to it. 5 different shooters compared them SXS and guess who ordered a March the next day?? I shot NF for several years. I knew there was better options for me. I could have shot anything I wanted, but I chose NF because it fit me the best. NF while not a sponsor in anyway was always great to me. I never EVER had a issue with NF. One of the last matches I shot with NF my gun actually fell off a barricade and landed scope first on the concrete. I trusted the scope so much that I chose to shoot the stage without going to check zero... Guess what!? It held zero.
I chose to leave names out of my OP because I respect NF and would not hesitate to continue to run their optics. Are they the best glass on the market?? No.. they know this though. I have literally shot every major players glass in this game. I chose NF because of many reasons that suited my taste in optics. Everyone has a different taste. Everyone has a different opinion.
The March fit every bill that I asked for in a scope and surpassed it with absolutely the best glass I have looked through. Originally stated in the OP dont take my word for it. See for yourself....
I can tell you that hundreds of people have looked through this scope since its been mounted on my rifle. With the exception of 2 people that had their mind made up before looking, everyone has been more than impressed. They love the turrets! 99% love the reticle ( only complaint is wanted 3 mils above for hold unders) not a issue at all for me.. I hold over!
I have buddies that own 3 letter scopes in the 8-40 range that are switching. I have buddies that have Canadian tubes that are switching. I have buddies that are sponsored and WANT to switch. I honestly don't care to argue or change your mind on this forum. I gave my opinions which I see as facts. Nothing more and nothing less....

Feel free if you ever see me at a Match to come take a look through this optic.

I cant tell you this though.... regardless of what you say when doing it, You wont look back through your optic and be as happy as you once thought you were!

side note- most of you should slide away from the computer more and go SHOOT!!

And yet there are grown adults in this very thread that claim to have doubted the msm and the government updates only a year ago. Now if the update from the same places fits their personal desires they buy it hook line and sinker. There is a lack of critical thought in the world today, and this is how we get into wars that should have never happened. Nobody asks questions or actually thinks critically for themselves. Only thing I can think of as a reason is that it would be a personal crisis if part of their worldview was wrong and they have been played for the benefit of others.

M40a1 build guide

Does anyone know the significance of the U.S. Property *28 on my Redfield Wideview scope.

Maybe cplnorton can look in the archives one day for more info. My understanding: they are briefly mentioned in two books as evaluation scopes that Redfield provided to the USMC in the late 1970s when they were updating the M40 to the M40A1 configuration. Your scope is the 5th one that I have seen. I used to own serial number 6 (“*0006”), but I traded it to a local buddy a decade ago who collects USMC items. It’s been sitting on his shelf with other USMC optics for the past decade. I briefly mocked it up on an M1A back when I bought for $150 on the CMP forum:

The two books that briefly mention/show the Redfield Wideview evaluation scope are Peter Senich’s ‘The One-Round War,’ and Chandler’s ‘Death from Afar, Volume 1.’ Both were printed in the early 1990s (pre-Internet).

Senich noted that 3 or 4 other scopes were evaluated in the late 1970s:

Chandler’s book shows one of the original Redfield boxes, note “sand blasted” (matte) finish and cross hair reticle “CH.”

I took my scope scope (serial number 6) to a Quantico vintage rifle match a decade ago to ask others about it. Sure enough, a middle aged man who was either a former USMC Scout Sniper or a former MOS 2112 Precision Weapon armorer looked at it, and said he recalled them being tested back in his day. He went on to say they were not very reliable scopes, and the new Unertl 10X scopes that he first saw around 1980-81 were consider “Star Wars technology” at that time. Major Jim Land’s son was in that conversation, and he chimed-in and said he had one of those scopes at home as well, but the serial number has been scratched off. (It’s seen in an old NRA article on the M40 rifle history).

Someone posted that Redfield provided 100 of these scopes to the USMC to evaluate, but that number seems exaggerated to me. So, Maj Jim Land (ret) has one (I think serial number was grinded away), Ryan has 2 or 3 of those scopes, I had one, and somehow serial number 28 made it over to South Africa…I suspect a few more exist on random hunting rifles here in the Virginia area.

Since these scopes were presumably no-cost samples or evaluation scopes - and thus not inventoried by the USMC, my guess is some of them were perhaps “rescued” from the dumpster approximately 45 years ago…so I do consider these as obscure but still collectible scopes. That’s all I know.

As for a possible one-off Redfield scope, my guess is there was at least one such scope evaluated back in that same late-70s era by the USMC (source: Chandler, DFA, Vol 1):
