Conner has personally helped me out with a lot of stuff, and I'm extremely grateful for everything that he's done for me! I've purchased a lot of items from EuroOptic over the years, and he's helped me acquire all of it.
So, please reach out to Conner if you guys need any information or are planning on purchasing anything from EuroOptic, he's essentially your own private concierge for guns, guns parts, gun accessories, and whatever else is available at EuroOptic!

Here's one for sale on GunBroker, but the price is just flat out crazy! Include the shipping/insurance cost with the possible 10% state tax (if the buyer is in a taxable state), and now the scope is around $6,700. This is what an actual USMC used/surplus S&B M8541 SSDS scope costs, these M8541 limited edition scopes should be at least $2k cheaper. This scope's serial number is 491230, so it's definitely from one of the more recent batches of limited production USMC marked scopes that EuroOptic sold. This IS NOT an earlier contract overrun USMC M8541 SSDS scope! I really hope that EuroOptic will be getting in more of these limited production S&B M8541 marked scopes because they fill a gap in what's available/correct for collector's M40xx clone builds, and no one should ever have to pay $6k+ for a scope that isn't a genuine USMC used/surplus M8541 SSDS scope.
Here's a link to the current GunBroker listing, but please check with @Euro.Connor about any restocks of this specific scope before paying this very high price for one:

Here's links to 2 listings for EuroOptic S&B USMC scopes that sold in 2024, all of these scopes are new in box condition. This should give you guys some information about the serial number ranges for these scopes and how to price them. The real contract overrun USMC scopes are in the 377xxx serial number range, so keep that in mind if you're trying to purchase one of these scopes. I hope that all the USMC M8541 scope information I've posted in this forum thread has helped people out, please let me know if anyone has any questions for me.
Serial numbers 377567 and 377568 from the first group (Flip batch) of EuroOptic S&B USMC M8541 SSDS contact overrun scopes. Both of these scope sold for $3,400 each, which is far less than their estimated value of about $5,000 each. The guys who purchased these actual USMC contract overrun scopes got a great deal on them at $3,400 per scope!

Serial number 491281 from a more recent group EuroOptic scopes, this scope is 51 numbers away from the scope that's currently listed on GunBroker. This scope sold for $3,500, which is what the scopes from later EuroOptic batches should be selling for. Even if these scopes are sold out and S&B never makes more, the value of these scopes will increase a little bit, but I'd say that $4,500 would be the maximum reasonable price for a scope that is discontinued. Right now we have no idea if these scopes are actually discontinued or if EuroOptic is currently between batches that they're getting from S&B.

I used to own S&B USMC M8541 scope, serial number 377574, that was from the very first batch of these scopes that EuroOptic sold (the infamous Flip batch). This is a real USMC M8541 SSDS contact overrun scope, not one of the recent reproduction/limited production S&B USMC scopes from later EuroOptic batches. I say that I "used" to own this scope because I donated it to the Scout Sniper Association (SSA) to be used on their next raffle rifle (M40A5). So, anyone here who purchases tickets for the upcoming SSA rifle raffle will have a chance to own my S&B USMC M8541 SSDS scope mounted to an epic M40A5 sniper rifle clone! I'll update everyone when this SSA rifle raffle goes live in a few days.
