I'm looking at the August 1999 issue of the American Rifleman and on page 22 they discuss the M1903A4 Sniper Rifle.
Early rifles were equipped with the Weaver 330C scope.
Almost as an after-thought, he speaks of a "very scarce later variant" with atapered post instead of reticules that has the military designation "M8".
Unfortunately, he doesn't say what the company designation for that scope was or how the scope was marked.
I own a Weaver scope that appears identical to the 330C except that it has a tapered post reticule and is marked "Model 440 Pats Pending W. R. Weaver CO El Paso, TX. USA
Could this be an original M8 scope? Any leads would be appreciated because if this is indeed an M8 its extremely valuable - as scarce as M1903A4's are, the scopes are even scarcer.
