I want to put a new (modern) scope on a M1D barreled Garand.

Any suggestions about a scope that would work. the OD has to be 7/8" .

BTW You can buy M1D barrels from Gun Parts. By that I mean barrels with the M1D scope mount block  already pressed on them. It then has to be fitted (lathe cut) to the receiver. I had a ball doing it.

I'd be interested to learn of any good, suitable for semi-auto, .30-'06 rifle scopes were available.
Absent that, maybe it might be possible to tig weld a set of 1" or 30mm rings to a repro M1D base.
Don't forget the cheek piece to compensate for scope offset.  You will need it.

It seems that there are no scopes made with 7/8" tubes anymore. I found a old Lyman Alaskan scope, which is 7/8"  civilian version of the Military M-84 and will use that.
