Payment Types Accepted: AmEx, Discover, Master Card, Visa, Money Order, Certified Check, Personal Check (item held until check cleared) Description: Military sniper rifles have always commanded a special place of fascination among small arms enthusiasts and collectors for a number of reasons. First of all, the number of true sniping rifles has always been very small in relation to other standard issue military weapons, and this scarcity has made them rather rare. Another reason is that these rifles often represented the pinnacle of small arms achievement for a particular army or period. Quite simply, they were the best that could be manufactured at the time. Springfield had made a purchase from the Israeli government of 90 Mauser Model 66 SP sniper rifles in 7.62 NATO. All of these rifles were actually used in front line service by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and had character oozing from every pore. These rifles were set up in bunkers and static positions on Israel’s borders, in places such as the Golan Heights and Gaza Strip. The IDF Mauser comes with top-of-the-line glass: a Swarovski 6X42mm with a 200-1000 meter range finding scale in the field of view, somewhat like you can find on a SVD PSO-1 scope, but much simpler. The crosshairs are the traditional Teutonic design of a heavy cross hair at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, and thin crosshairs in the middle and at 12 o’clock. This is a really nice tube and the clarity is like looking through clean mountain air on a cold day. The elevation drum at the top has positions on it corresponding to the range scale on the reticle, and has “M118” engraved on it, so there was no mystery as to the kind of ammo it was designed for. The objective bell of the scope is sheathed in a thick rubber jacket to help protect the piece from the inevitable dings and bangs that are drawn to any precision instrument designed for troops. The scope tube itself is standard European in diameter-30 mm. The scope rings and mounts are solid steel, extremely beefy, and appear to be just about bulletproof. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a real piece of history that can also be taken to the range and shot without guilt. Of the 360 SP’s that Mauser produced, only 100 went to Israel, Less than 90 are in the U.S. All items are also available for sale in our brick & mortar store and are subject to prior sale.
