I was not a sniper nor did I have a scope on my M-16, but talking with snipers in my company, I was surprised to hear that a few guys actually brought there own scopes from home. A popular one was Redfield because of it's light gathering ability. The eye piece was not round, but sort of oval shape. Weaver and Leupold come to mind also but I can't be 100% sure. It's been a long time. I left there in 1968 after the TET offensive.
