Scope looks real but the fotos are not good enough to tell otherwise. :vcool: :vcool:

The red shellac has me thinking it's a recent import despite the missing import mark, the sniper ID I will leave to the experts.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Scope is legit, made by the Kazan Optical-Mechanical Factory (KOMZ). The mount looks good too. The rifles serial number falls into a block of known legit PU snipers.

It looks good, but I'd need more pics to be 100% sure.

Sometimes they fall asleep at the switch and one sneaks by with no import mark, when you are dealing with thousands of rifles it's bound to happen. BATFE probably wouldn't like it, but unless they are willing to look over every single rifle, and they haven't got the time or manpower for that , then it will happen.
