Schmidt & Bender USMC 4-16 scope

I am looking for pictures of USMC M40A3 rifles with S&B 4-16 scopes they tested. Can anyone provide a link or pictures? I haven't been able to find any and I know I've seen some in the past.

What floorplate is that? I know the early a3's used a floorplate but was it just a factory 700 bottom metal?

It's awesome until you try to get a good cheek weld while keeping the buttpad in your shoulder. Literally the most worthless of all the M40xx configurations, lol

Can I pick your brain for a bit? Which configuration is your favorite?

My favorite is the one I used in the Corps - A3 with DD Ross bottom metal, PGW EFR and S&B 3-12 scope (I still need to clone this one). Some guys like the rifle they used or whatevers contemporary to their service, others just prefer the simplicity of the classic M40 and A1. Regardless of this subjectivity, most people can find common ground in their dislike of the A6, lol.

Even the guys that build the A6 dislike it. LMAO
