Attachment 47261Is this it?

That mount is really far forward. Interesting. And no rear sight.

Is he US Army or Aussie?

Oops, I should've read the caption. Not sure if that pic is what is in the OP, because I can't see it either.

What is that scope??

What is that scope??

looks like a weaver K4 60b

The front bell is too long for a Weaver and there appears to be a power change ring present. Redfield?

I was going to say the same thing. Thanks for backing up my thinking. The step in the objective bell is more sharp than the weavers that I have seen or accustomed to, also. But yeah, it's way long in front.
