    Never seen one like that before. Anyone know anything about it?

    Don't know who made it but it is a pentaprism monocular. Like one half of one of the older binoculars.

    Made in the early 1950's, I think it was Noske that had the original patent from the '40's. Becoming a collector thing now.

    Finn Army had a version in 1939, the Physica that was mounted on the M27 Mosin. Out of the 250 ordered, only 150 were completed and installed on the M37 sniper rifles.

    It appears , from a quick search, that the company is still in business as a division of Coherent industries .They are a photonics company and build lasers among other going?s now

    You can just see the edge of the added cheek piece on the stock. That, and the complicated manufacture process for the scope and mount, is probably why the Finns stuck with the PEM and PU scopes.

    Looks like it mounts in the tang screw holes on a Savage 99.
    I would like to see and handle one. And possibly try one.
    My 60 year old eyes dont work with open sights any more.

    I also think that sight is very interesting. I do have a question, not about that sight but about the rifle. The receiver appears to have all of the bluing worn off but the barrel seems to still have blue on it. Is this a common wear pattern or has the barrel been reblued??

    Yes. That is common/normal. The steel for the barrels took and held bluing better than the receivers.
    Also, the guns were most often carried by the receiver.

    That, and the receiver was most likely re-barreled by the Finns(Sako & Valmet) after being being captured from the Russians. The Finns were changing designs on the Mosins into the 1980's, and some of those actions were made in 1891. Finns never produced a Mosin action, and the Russians never made one that could shoot like a Finn.

    Well then, you made more sense than I did. :mrgreen:
    BTW, that Winchester was made in 1937, not 1941.

    Hahaha! No sweat. I was wondering how you saw enough of the receiver and barrel from the picture of the M27! :D
