    Compare this defensible position to that here 12-262 Garand Picture of the day I'd choose this one if given the choice between the two.

    Is that a 1903A4 w/Unertl (?) that the guy on the ground looking at the tank has in his hand? Enlarge the photo and let us know what you think.

    No, that's a M1903A1 with an Unertl, the one and only '03A4 with interchangeable scopes was in "Saving Private Ryan".... a movie day dream...

    It always made me crack up. Plus, do you adjust those unertl's on the objective like he did? I was thinking not. I thought they were fixed power. But I've never handled one.
