Swarovski Cobra scope to use on my retro reproduction Stoner 63 scope mount project. For those not familiar with them, its a 1.5X scope with a circle dot reticle (aka the doughnut of death) that is also used in military AUGs of the same era.
Tried getting image of reticle and failed.  Attached File |

1.5x . Better than no magnification?

Just the thinking of the day. Before the red dot craze went into effect.

Neat scope!
A handful were used for the Colt M16A2E1 ‘enhanced’ project with special mounts as well that many dont know about.  Attached File |

very nifty scope, the LGS in of all places Culver City CA, had several of them NOS in the case for $450 around about 2010-ish
I ended up getting a non-stanag version with the 'doughnut of death' reticle. Ended up selling it. Of course, now I wish I kept it!! |

Kind of neat, would like to see more of these types of scopes made in modern times verses ones that weight a ton, size of sewer pipes and have turrets the size of car tires.

Is this prior to Colt's ACR entry?
A similar scope to the Cobra is the Hensoldt BLITZ. It has the donut reticle with Tritium illumination, and the same 4x magnification as the ZF scopes. I've heard it was a candidate for the ACR so I suppose they were competing? |

Yep, exactly. The collapsible stock from the M16A2E1 would end up being used for Colt's ACR entry too.

I remember wanting one of the old Beeman SS1 or SS2 "short scopes" back in the day.
