I am a handicapped shooter. I shoot the sniper NRA matches.
Please let me know if you can part with the Unertl that’s gathering dust. I have a use for her.

Thank you for the interesting article, I acquired a similar scope in 2010 or so, and I have never used it, nor think I will, as I do not shoot long range or shoot much at all. It still sits in the original gray crate collecting dust in my loft above the garage. Maybe some day soon I will part with it to someone who will use and appreciate it more than I. Good read and thanks again!

Hi David,
I have an Unertl Spotting scope which belonged to a famous US sniper (Sadly I have forgotten his name). My father knew him well and was able to obtain his Unertl spotting scope for his own use. This scope has a specially adapted 54x magnification eye piece in addition to the standard 15x, 24x, 32x included with the scope in order to see his bullet holes at 1500 yards while practising on his farm! It was said that lying in the barn and firing his rifle in the DDT dust is what drove him to depression and ultimately suicide. People were not aware of the risks at the time…

Thank you for collecting the information about these scopes. Bob and I shot together and I bought his team scope 20 years ago or so. Take care!

What is this scope worth?

At our range, we have used Leica telescopes to resolve holes in the target at 1000 yards, and the March 8 – 80 scope can see holes. But only in perfect conditions – over cast, no wind, moderate temps.
