Considering I may be getting a Tanaka in the future, I figure iImay as well put a USMC Sniper load out, But from NAM'

Ive already got the ALICE and correct BDUs, Now i just need the rifle and optic. Rifle will be a Tanaka USMC M40A1, i just need to find a replica of the correct, or near correct scope.

During Vietnam, thy used the Redfield 3

Pfft... That's pocket change.....

That really just looks like any regular scope. Just buy a modern one which resemble it and paint it. Also I like the old sniper loadout Idea but I hate the way everybody makes it a marine sniper thinking they are the best out there, cause quite simply, they're not, english marines are trained for longer and are trained better (thats just what I was told by an army guy in the north of Ireland and my uncle who is big into military factions or what ever) I'm not sayi g you are thinking this Im just saying in general thats what a load of people are like.

 

[metallicafatcat]

I think the Russians or Israelis are trained the hardest....

HOLY SHIT!

Grass, I know they arnt the best, but I figured "hell, if I have an M40A1, why not make a USMC load out?" Want trying to step on anyone's internet toes.

 

[metallicafatcat]

My Google-Fu is best. Sadly that is the M21 mount and I'm not sure it can be mounted on an M40. I've been hunting scopes for a while, so yeah... Still trying to find an M24 scope though.

That's why I said "not you though" or something along those lines. I am not annoyed at you, I was just pointing out That OTHERS a lot of the time think, OMFG MARINE SCOUT SNIPERS R TEH BESTEST IN DA FRIGGAN WORLD omg omg omg. You know what I mean? Lol. Again not you and I am looking forward to this loadout. Actually you'd go great at my site because they love veitnam games here and they all wear tigerstrip BDUS.

I saw that after, forgot to edit my post. Anyway, Tigerstripe is pretty frigging awesome, and is what I wear if Im not wearing a ghillie. Also, for a tip to everyone, ALICE gear beats the hell out of a battle belt. sure its the same idea, but ALICE is wayyyyy cheaper.

I noticed the mount on the scope look firmilar, but I couldnt figure out what it was. Not that it matters, couldn't buy a $5K rifle scope anyway. Need clone NAO ><

 

[cerboknight]

Isn't the mount in that picture just the standard rail that's already on the Tanaka?
Fairly sure it looks like it, and I'd say just go with a scope that looks similar and leave it at that. I doubt there's a specific clone of that scope

 

[MGunner]

if I can ever afford the rifle that's what I'll have to do

 

[cerboknight]

They're works of art when you get them fine tuned, I'm temped to engrave something in that spirit on my receiver, not that anyone will see it under all the rifle wrap.

 

[MGunner]

I wouldn't bother, what happens if you FUBAR your receiver up?

 

[cerboknight]

Nah, don't think it'd be possible unless you mean me slipping while trying to engrave?
The receiver is really solid, and If I don't like it I can always fill it in and spray over it after

True, engraving doesn't really take away all that much material. I say do it if you think it will look good

RA tech makes a wood m40 stock fro the vsr. Its $150.

Really? Huh.

If I ever get to the point where everything else on the gun is upgraded to the max, Ill probably buy one.
