    A 32 or not a 32 !

    I agree with all the comments especially B.D and P.L summation of the rifle getting a scope and the repro's ~ imagine this you save like crazy to get the car of your dreams 2nd hand its a bit daggy so you send it away to a reputable mechanic and panel beater to have it returned to as near as possible to the day it left the factory but the bank balance suffered a tad and dollars are short. So you decide instead of placing say the factory recommended tyres maybe Pirellis you decide that a set of Yokahamas will suffice as you wish to drive it rather than wait to have the top tyre. You decide one day to test the car and the tyres give to much under steer and you miss a bend and plant it into the bush sad day for all........

    The moral of this is whilst it is very tempting to perhaps put a scope which looks like a 32 it will never ever be a 32 because I am sure the factory producing them has not torture tested nor had wars to try and see the how much abuse the scope will take before failure, finally you feel sad because the car is back with the mechanic and he feels bad because all their hard work went out the window.

    So do yourself a favour save up get the real deal as imagine being in a shoot and the turret gear strips out due to recoil and presto your done up for another repro, I mean the Sniper T's from what I can gather were parachuted to the Frenchicon Resistance and if I am wrong I am sure to be corrected but that's how tough a Mk 32 is of course they were in the transit chests along with the rifle.
