I finally completed a long standing project: an ersatz M1903A1 USMC sniper clone. Vintage NOS Keystone stock, 1.3M serial# action, new Criterion barrel, NM rear sight. In that trim she shoots in the MOA range with issue sights. Last week I finally got the Unertl 8x 1 1/4" scope mounted, and expect great things of her. The scope is the same model and magnification as the fabled USMC, but its mounts aren't black and it didn't cost but 1/10 of what a correct one would. So be it, I'll get the same kick out of it regardless!
