[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 233875, member: 12443"] bravoemike, good to hear from one of our brave marines. god bless you for your service to our great country. there was a little more than a cult following with unertle scopes though. for many years, they dominated the target shooting, benchrest, and long range hunting sports. i used one for years, and never pulled the thing back once. but then i never removed the recoil spring as others did. some claimed it could damage the scope w/ heavy recoil guns. but it never did mine. main problem with them is field of view. some less experienced shooters lose the target after the shot, and have trouble getting back on due to small field. serious problem when shooting at an animal. other than that, they are still a fine scope for long range shooting. quite a few are still being used in pa. the one i use now on the same rifle, (a 30x378) is essentially the same scope. an old b & l balvar 6x24 x. it has an external micrometer for adjustments, and a recoil spring just like the unertle. advantage, is field of view due to varieable power. ive got no plans on replacing it. im sure whitefeather would agree with you on the new scopes. but im sure also, he could still do the job with the old one. again, thats my point. not whats best, but what will work, for losts less than some of the very good, but very expensive new scopes.
