Currently on the market are two variations of the Automatic
rangefinding telescope, or ART, there had been the ART 1, and the
final version the ART II, the scopes for sale are versions of the ART
II with ballistic cams for diffrent calibers, based on bullet weight.
If you bought the tacticle model, selling for about $299.00 in The
Sportsman Guide, it is either a straight 10X scope, or if it was like
the eariler scopes a 3X9. It has a bracketing reticle, and once the
scope is zeroed for the caliber of your choice, and the proper cam
installed, all you have to do to become proficent is to practice with
consistant ammo. The sportsmans version is a 3X9, with cams for
hunting calibers, and a diffrent reticle. And sportsmans Guide has it
for about $269.00

I don't think the units being sold are military over runs, as they
are probably made in china, to spec. And an original ART II in the
wooden case with the cams is about $3,000. Just consider that a
Unertl 10X USMC scope is $2,500. New and a US Optics 10X scope is
also about $2,500 new, if this was the same quality as the original
product the price shouldn't be bad at all.
