U.S. NAVY Contract # N00164-93-C-205.
This is the Navy contract I was referring to. Type U.S. NAVY Contract # N00164-93-C-205. into your google search engine and read the info, I came up with this info in about 10 minutes so it's not hard to find.
Please understand I am not flaming the the original poster about his question, It's a good question. I just don't like the way some second hand knowledge has been passed off as fact. The current Super Sniper IS made to the exact same standards set by the original contract specifications, and for all intensive purposes is the same scope. It did however have a little problem in cold weather in the beginning(the turrets got a little mushy) but has been addressed and since corrected. Hakko in Japan was the original manufacturer, and I got news for you, some of your favorite brands of optics are made by them as well. Please, to all interested read about it and decide for yourself.
