7/8 ths inch scope

[jjones]

I am trying to find a scope that will fit an M1d scope mount. What other scopes will fit the scope rings for the m1d? I have tried to find a lyman alaskan, but they are pricey, are there any other scopes out there that will fit?

thanks

I'm in the same boat. I have a faux M1D that needs some optics.
So far, I have found:
The replica M84. 2.5X
The new replica M82 2.5X
The Lyman Alaska in multiple flavors. 2.5X
A vintage German made PECAR scope 3X
The Weaver V22 3-6X

About the only modern optics that I have found made in 7/8" are rimfire scopes. I'd love to have something more useful than 2.2-2.5X but I'm not sure a rimfire scope will handle the recoil implulse of a .30 cal.

if you get a replica M84, let me know how it works out for you. I put one on my rifle, and it shoots low and left. I am just trying to find a scope to test my rifle. I want to rule out the mounting block that is on my rifle.
