Did Canada evaluate the Leopold 2.5 "Alaskan" telescopic sight as well as the Lyman?

Paul:
I have most of the records of the WW II sniper trials circa 44/45 and there is no record of a Leopold scope being used or evaluated.
HOWEVER, there was some work done on sniper rifles in Canada in the late 50's and 60's. I'm currently trying to find out if anything else was used as well other than the No.32 Weaver and Alaskan TP 32. Canada had a pi$$ pot full of 32 scopes, and the last batch sold off as surplus back in the 80's if memory serves me well. They went through an acquaintance in western Canada and some were just beat to snot I can tell you. There was one lot of No.32 scopes sold that I am aware of: mostly British Mk. I's and I think the number was around 25 units. I cannot recall seeing an REL of any Mk. in the pile. Other than the ZF69's and the Zeiss FN scopes, I think this was the only major release of sniper scopes in Canada. Others have "dribbled" out over the years on a one and two basis. Kosher ...?????
Leopold did make an Alaskan scope and I believe they have re-introduced it into their inventory.
