Gentlemen,
I have a USMC M40A1 return stock that I am building on. I have a 1-10 twist Obermeyer barrel for a Remington action. I have a clip-slotted base coming from a fellow Hide member. I do NOT want another US Optics MST scope. I already have a M40A1 completed with that scope. Obviously, with the period correct clip-slotted base with welded rings, I am limited to a 1" tube diameter scope. I plan to shoot 175 grain Black Hills ammo if you think that makes a difference.
I know there are a lot of members on here that have a M40A1 return stock built rifles that are not using the Unertl or the U.S. Optics scope. What are you using or what do you recommend for this project.
Also, I know a lot of you will say ditch the clip-slotted base and mount a rail-type base and go with 30mm rings. I am not interested in doing that. As with most or all of you, I am interested in sharp turret indexing and durability. I look forward to hearing any scope suggestions or recommendations. Thanks in advance.
