The black rifle crowd at a range can’t figure out how to turn the red dot on.
Mine are mounted on only Rimfire rifles and are just plain fun to shoot and look at. My friend had these scopes I have mounted on Ruger No.1’s and Winchester 52’s and swore by them in the Prairie Dog Towns of Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas.
UNERTL SCOPE COMPANY MANUAL
The USMC removed the spring on their 30-06 M70 Sniper Rifle because they believed that the recoil of the ‘06 put to much stress on the scope, making it a manual operation to return the scope to its stop after firing. You mentioned the need to pull the scope back into position, this is the purpose of the spring on sporting models. Fecker before going out on his own and starting Unertl, the history behind both companies is very interesting as Fecker started out building optical instruments for the military and then jumped into the scope world really revolutionizing sport optics IMO. This was the majority of their work.You are correct about these scopes being a historical item! John Unertl worked for J.W. It's hard to convince the military to buy on a value basis for cost, rather than a cost basis alone.Īnyhow, while we know his work mostly through his scopes, the company eventually ended up making high end optical instruments and aircraft gunsights for the military. And, they want it at closeout sale price. 30-06 Bolt Rifle & Unertl Scope, 1907 C&R arrowback Return To All Sold Items arrowback Return To Sold Post-1900 U.S. And, of course, the military's fickleness of what they want this week and what they want next week. It was a tough go for him as he wasn't big, but his quality was there. He showcased his talent in the civilian target market. Unertl left Feckers employ in 1934 and started his own company to pursue military scope contracts. He finished his apprenticeship with Fecker.įecker pursued military scope contracts some, but his real money was in building observatory telescopes. He was apprenticing in Germany in an optics company, but they didn't have enough business at the time so he emigrated here. Unertl scope bases are period production (1930s/1940s) from Unertl, glass is a reproduction from Hi-Lux LeatherWood (Malcolm USMC 8x - 600), Unertl mounts/rings are Hi-Luxs Malcolm MicroMeter 8x Vintage Sniper Competition Mounts (400), proper nickel/watery blued bolt, blued milled trigger guard, blued finely checkered buttplate, etc. in 1926 and went to work directly for John Fecker. I sort of get the feeling that experienced shooters tend to prefer Unertl. Some recent threads here sing the praises of the Unertl target scopes.

UNERTL SCOPE COMPANY SERIAL
It is also very fitting that serial 1775 is super salty. It holds a zero as good or better than any scope I had ever used and the 'clicks' were extremely precise. But to those who didn't serve, 1775 is the year the Marine Corps was founded and it's sort of a really special number to us. When they are mint they look off when you put them on a salty rifle.Īnways he sent me pics and as soon as I saw the serial, I was like I will take it! If you are a Marine, there is no explanation needed. Also I personally like them salty because they match the condition of my Unertl Sniper rifles. I was interested as usually almost all Unertl scopes found look NOS. Final inspection and testing are performed to assure the precision accuracy of every rifle scope touched by Optical Services Company. Rifle scopes are custom machined for an Optical Services Company 'Power Upgrade'. I was contacted by someone who said they had a really salty USMC Unertl they wanted to sell. Unertl, Weaver, Leupold, Sightron, Lyman etc - we service many kinds of gun scopes. Every once in a while I come across something that I just think is really special.
