Newly bought 1943 T sniper.

No I understand that I could possibly find one that is pretty messed up and that it could possibly fixed. But being as that is such a specialty trade I can't imagine it's too cheap.being these scopes are that rare even a complete turd will bring a pretty penny. I'd love a real one but don't want my new gun sitting waiting fir a real scope when it's nice. Ill give it till spring see what shows up

Good things come to those who wait............
Took a bit over three years to complete this project. It started with just a scope in rough shape. The rifle and bracket were acquired a year or so later from a fellow who had grown impatient with locating an authentic scope right away and decided to part with it. Swapped him a LE No.5 and a little cash for it. Bracket/scope were repaired/serviced and collimated to the rifle so I ended up with a matching rig with no issues for considerably less than I've seen mismatched rigs go for at auction.

Are all mk2 original scopes dated?

[Peter Laidler]

Nobody knows unless they've seen 'em all.................

I was just curious if anyone has run into one before without a date. I ordered a weaver k 3 with correct reticle and a repro scope mou t for now.

[Roger Payne]

The majority are dated but not all. HBM Co Mk2's aren't. Most (?all?) Watson Mk2's are; REL Mk2's are.............it rather depends on who made them.

Excellent choice on the Weaver 3x scope - I';ve done the same thing and it works!

[Z28addiction]

Yea I figure its great quality at a cheap price till I find a real scope/mount in my price range.

Here are some pictures of my rifle finally.

Would a hbm co scope be proper on an early 43 rifle like mine?
