Have they scrapped the old scopes? or will they sell them off? I guess the Rifles will go to stores and then cut up? Anyone know about who's barrels they used when they were replaced?
Yes that was the rifle I just missed here in the UK which was sold back to someone in Canada.
The full story is under Classic Military Rifles whose owner I know. Lots of things changed on the rifle over a period as written on the advert including the stock. Still a nice rifle at a good price.
Canadian C3A1 Sniper Rifle
Well if anyone wants a Canadian style Unertl then they should call USO up. I bet if they got enough calls and depend they would do another run.
"C3 marked USO scope turrets building"
US Optics just finished a "group buy" of 100 scopes (it sounds like they built 100 for the order and an "overrun" of up to 100 scopes), a member here ended up purchasing a large number of them, many (all?) of the ones he ordered will be C3 marked.
US Optics will put what ever serial number and markings on the scopes if you want them to (the default markings are USMC), which is the source of the markings in the above photo.

FYI, it took over a year from the date of order until shipment of product, I ordered mine in November, and received in 14months later.

this is my scope made by Unertl I think the did the USMC use the same ammo spec? or is there a different ballistic chart?
In 1990/1991 (Gulf War 1) the Marines grabbed all the Canadian contract scopes at Unertl. They remained marked as C3 scopes, a few have been sold in the US by the CMP in the last few years.
@10 years ago a friend of mine bought a C3 scope which came off a retirement trophy, unfortunately he sold it into the US...in retrospect I really should have bought it.
The Canadian scope is cammed to 800m, for Norma 168gr, the USMC (C3 marked) scope is cammed to 1000yards.
