[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1015409, member: 25383"] please don't make hunt up Carlos' book! (I have an autographed copy) Going from memory, I think Carlos started out with a Unertel before they went with the Redfield. Plus somewhere in the mix they used a Weaver K series. Think his last scope was a very early Leatherwood. I never saw Hathcock in the bush, but we traveled the same A.O. so it's still possible. I did see J.T. Ward once or twice. I think Hathcock started out using a 30-06 in a Mod.70, and later made the switch to 7.62x51. The A.O. was tough, and I've stood in the "Y" of the road from Baldy to Ross. In the book 91 confirmed kills they speak of the modified M2 machine gun. But S.F. teams had them in late 1966 out on the border. Used the biggest rifle scope I've ever seen, and was light amplified with a 6 volt battery. The tripod was completely different than the normal M2 tripod. They were making 2500+yd. one shot kills. gary [/QUOTE]
