Military Bore Sight 8587577, 2.75", Telescope Elbow M62, OEM Case
This is a U.S. Army bore sight, #8587577, with the M62 telescope elbow installed. It is in the original hard case.
The sight has a reticle in the view. The round rubber eye cup has flattened on two sides (see photos), but it is flexible and it does not hinder operation. The large, black end does measure 2.75" outside diameter.
I make no claim that this is useable as anything other than a historical curiosity. I am not experienced with bore sights larger than a .45 caliber, so please look at the photos, read the listing, and make your own decision about whether or not you can use this.
The case hinges, latches, and handle are good.
This is being sold as is, no warranty, no return.
