My wife bought me this as a congratulations present M40A1

I think she’s perty, my wife isn’t bad either!

Very nice! What the congrats for?

I bought three of the scopes when the civilian marksman program were auctioning them off. 1 of 2 people qualified to update the unertl 10x is in Tulsa.

She's a keeper...rifle and wife.

It was back in 2001 when I made captain on the FD. The scopes came up for auction in 2018. I had to buy those luckily one restored scope almost covered the cost of all three.

Here’s the auction site, they get some pretty good stuff sometimes…

Nice! When Grumpy retired he got to spend a BUNCH of money on whatever he wanted -- that man ... I gotta admit, he did it up right ... A Charger, a full auto, a couple of cans. Seems like he got some other gun related stuff but I forget. That was almost 10 years ago now.

A fine rifle. Old Carlos Hathcock would approve.
