[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2847803, member: 12443"] Back when Unertle was still building scopes they also built a very large 100 mm spotter called a team scope. They like all Unertle products were excellent quality. The military used them for their rifle teams also. Anyway i have an old friend who repairs the WW2 vintage large optics. He recently came upon 2 of these scopes that had been used by the Marines. They are in large wood boxes and in excellant condition. I believe each have 3 eyepieces of a different power and a tripod included. Years back i ran into a guy who had 2 of them put together in a bracket. Problem was due to the way they were built they had to be placed in the bracket straight up, and not rotated to allow for inter eye relief. This guys eyes were very far apart, which is the only reason he could use them. Mind you, the Japs had large ship binoculars with up to 180 mm objectives, but on all of the larger ones the eyepiece housings rotate, allowing for proper inter eye adjustments. [/QUOTE]
