It's correct for an early, reticle should be mil dot but no one can tell as far as that goes, so use what you like. M1 turrets aren't accurate but you can send the scope to leupold to have them switched out. |

Yeah I figured the same. I really wanted a illuminated reticle, but I might just go with the M3 turrets and non-illuminated. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By js1977:

I would say if you want the illuminated reticle, which is nice to have, and leupold only charges around $150 to swap turrets I would go for the illuminated. You'll kick yourself on the ass later, especially with things getting harder and harder to find. |

What do you mean a MK12 doesn't look right without paint?
The only paint this rifle has ever seen was white, for arctic camo. This is a night fighter Mod0, and the higher scope mount gives me more consistent night accuracy out past 500 meters. It's probably me, not the rifle, but I shoot it equally well in daylight, and better at night, with the taller HOB and a little ways back from NTCH. Plus, the A.R.M.S. base holds zero better than the 22 rings ever thought about. I'm just one of those guys trained to prefer to fight after dark, as a matter of fact, I do everything better after dark! 
For what it's worth, my Marine Sniper buddy said his spotter's rifle was identical to mine except for a CAR stock & A1 grip, and he even ran the kill flash on the Loopy day and night! |

I need a favor...can someone point me to a photo of the original Mod 0 with PRI forearm? I am trying to decide between the current complete PRI Gen II and Gen III uppers and can't find a definitive side by side comparison of the original Gen I and the current Gen II. Is the PRI Gen II the same aesthetically as the first Mod 0's? Thanks.

He even had a Schmidt & Bender on the Mod0 one time, sourced it from Army shooters. Traded it for a better spotter, can't blame him there, sold off my MK4 spotter as well. |
