Very rare Unertl 8X U.S.M.C. Sniper Scope and mounts. Believe these where used on the 1903 Springfield Rifles. Scope is Marked J.UNERTL USMC-SNIPER. Serial number is 26XX. The scope is 23 1/2 inches long and is in excellent condition with very little wear. Also has the screw in covers on both ends. The optics are clean and clear, the picture shows the fine crosshairs with a dot in the middle. This is an excellent scope!

Currently at 3,750.00, 3 days left in auction too...!

I just sold the correct 1920's vintage 1903 Springfield N.M. sniper set up with the right bases and everything (but the scope) at the Allentown PA. gun show for a friend of mine. He got $5,500.00 U.S.. I wonder what the gun would have been worth with that scope on it. I also wonder if the guy that bought that gun is watching that auction.-SDH
