Counter Sniper Scope

ghostridertx

I inherited a rifle with a Counter Sniper 3x25x56 scope on it but I got no owners manual and I have no experience with this type of scope. Does anyone know where I can get a manual for this scope?Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
 
These scopes were especially hated by those in the Snipers Hide community. Below is a faux CounterSniper advertisement someone made to poke fun at one of their reticles that was posted at SH many years ago. It actually is kind of funny and I'm surprised I was still able to find the image, which came from http://madogre.com/?p=1954. Perhaps even more funny is the Google search query I used, "Countersniper Yo Dawg", which was all I could remember from the faux ad.

Yep!
Way too much 'sniper' this and 'sniper' that. Many in our shooting society have bastardized this honorable profession to steal its perceived 'glamor'. From the time of Desert Storm to my retirement I lost track of all the young ex-military persons that came to work for me (nearly all after having served only one hitch) and proudly told me they had been snipers. If that was truly the case, there must not have been any cooks or other assignments. Out of all those people, I could only identify one that probably was telling me the truth. He at least had all the terminology right and could answer questions that only a person with intimate knowledge of firearms and distance shooting could. There were several that I identified quickly by their reference to their 'guns' (this is my rifle - this is my gun) as being idiots and probably hadn't even been in the service. Others couldn't tell me about 'mils' or other essentials of the sniper's art. Several found all kinds of excuses to turn down invitations to come shoot with me.

Kind of like "benchrest quality" this and that. Marketing BS in too many cases.
