Rifle Scopes CMP Unerl scopes

[John Nors]

Is there any info on how many they have remaining to sell? Do they have all they'll ever have or do more still trickle in even though they've been out of service for many years?

I won an auction finally so I'm not looking for any more, just curious and don't really know what's still out there. How close are we to there being no more?

I don't know how many were left but you have to feel wonderful you have one. I was lucky too. I am looking for a Marine with experience using one

By "one" dont you mean "two"?

One is none and two is one.

These are MST-10 Unertls, fixed 10X bullet drop compensators. Fielded from 77 or so up to early 90s.

Lots of guys around that used them.

Had my USO version of it out yesterday.......

Its Yes! Thank you. The issue I have is I have the U.S.M.C .50 cal model. so its calibrated for the .50 cal round I imagine. The one I have has the marked distances to 1800 yds. I am thinking that its calibrated for the .50 cal. but what bullet weight?

When you use yours do you sight it in for say 100 yards using the allen wrenches. Then shoot it using the turrets mounted to compensate for the distances and windage?
thank you,

Thank you. I really like the scope but I am trying to get it set up correctly.

BTW: I have an M1D sniper rifle. At 100 yds. I shot a couple of clay birds using a bipod to hold up the rifle. . Then I took the broken halfs mounted them on the target rack and went back to 200 yds and shot them both into fine powder. I think its the rifle that was pretty good. (not me) It has the 2.5 x scope. I was surprised and pretty happy. She shoots good for and old gal!

Perhaps you are correct.

Mine is zeroed at 300 yards (on the 3 setting) using the allen wrenches.

When using FGMM 175s the 1-10 coarse elevation settings are pretty close to being as marked....1 = 100 yards, 2 = 200 yards, etc.

There is always some messing with the fine elevation to do if you are shooting paper but for what the scope was intended to do and the size of the intended target it can be plug and play pretty much.

There are people out there that have "converted" .50 cal scopes back to M118LR scopes.

I was lucky enough to win one.. . I'd like to have another but I haven't jumped in the auction ring yet.
Somewhere at CMP there is a stack of them, but I am pretty sure that they will not say how many.

I'd really like to see them auction a few S&B 8541 scopes.
