I have a Springfield Armory 3X9X40 scope with built in rangefinder.  The windage and elevation caps are marked with USMC and the Artillery Symbol (Flaming cannonball).  The horizontal crosshair splits and seperates as you increase the magnification.  I have not been able to find out any info on this scope.  I have written Spr. Arm. with the details including serial #, with no conclusive results.  They sent me a photocopy of a manual for a different scope, nothing like mine.  I would love to know how to use this rangefinder if anyone has had experience with it.

The optic was actually manufactured by Hakko of Japan, as are all of the SA Inc. scopes.  You may have better luck contacting them directly.

Thanks for the info.  I will give it a try.  SA said it may have been made by Burris.  Burris new nothing about it.

The scope you have was an attempt at duplicating the ART4 scope inexpensively and made a bit simpler. It was manufactured by HAKKO for some time. Burris is the original ART scope manufacturer. But that was many years ago. I have a copy of the SA owners manual laying around somewhere if you would like a copy. Email me off board.

I had bought the "Government" model 8-yrs. ago for my M1A.  I sent it back.   I believe it's over-rated.  I would recommend a Leopuld optic.

JohnM,

I emailed Hakko with the particulars of the scope.  They new nothing of it and referred me to Sprinfield Armory.  Oh well.  I will keep trying.  Thanks for the help.

The original ART scope was cobbled up by Jim Leatherwood out of a Redfield scope.
Redfield then went on to make the ART scope for the military.
