Looky what I found today... (can you say rare?)

Peter: If you believe Clive Law, the fix was in before you kippers ever laid eyes on one and there's documentation he found in UKMOD to strongly support that hypothesis. While the No.32 scope is a solid bit of kit, the adjustment of them is an arcane black art. The No.67 on the other hand is effortless by comparisson and the optics are nice and clear.

It may be illustrative to point out that no modern scope uses the distinguishing features of the no.32 while the No.67 scope is copied in virtually every modern optic.

Food for thought.

I believe Clive Law quotes an "Assistant CIGS" as saying that the Canadian scopes were "far better than anything we or the Germans have so far produced." Though to be fair, they hadn't seen much of the German stuff, or else just weren't paying attention. (As I recall the only comparitive test run of a No32 and a German scope was done against a ZF41 which is hardly a fair comparison.)

AFAIK the C67 was not particularly innovative technically, but it was certainly a lot closer to what our snipers should have had in 1939 and now have, and like the REL TOS it was built using existing optical components, and was probably a lot cheaper to produce than the No32.
