Rifle Scopes Any guess as to what this is?

[libertyman777]

This was given to me a while back. It seems to be some type of aiming device. I couldn't take a pic of the reticule but it's sort of an inverted Christmas tree marked at regularly spaced intervals, 8,16,32 and then 42. Glass is in good shape and it's heavy. It is marked TELESCOPE M71K.

Just a guess from an old tanker here. The gloss white paint definitely links it to armor.

Dang that was fast. I know it would take a tank to haul it around. Thanks gentlemen.

Have some custom rings made and mount that to your rifle. Guaranteed to be unique.
