    James River Armory used to make USMC sniper clones with the Hi Lux scopes. I think they started with drill receivers then added a new barrel and stock. I don't know if they re-serialized the receivers or not. I just recently saw one of their reproduction rifles with the Hi Lux scope sell for over $2000. I've got one put together by a local gunsmith who has built a number of them for CMPicon vintage sniper competition shooters. It was built on an old 1903 rifle receiver with a new barrel and stock. Mine has a real Fecker 8X scope and I paid $1400 7 or 8 years ago. It is a tack driver and very fun to shoot. The long scope always draws a crowd at the range.
