This video delves into the Scrome J8 F1 scope, a modern replacement for the long-serving APX L806 on French FR-F2 sniper rifles. It highlights the J8's domestic origin, Scrome's specialization beyond optics, its fixed 8x40mm magnification, integrated range-finding reticle with BDC holdovers up to 800m, and its historical rarity for collectors. The video also notes Scrome's current production of military-pattern J8 scopes to coincide with surplussed FR-F2 rifles.
This video features the French FR-F1 sniper rifle being tested at the range. The rifle, adopted in 1967, is based on the MAS-36 bolt-action system and utilizes a 10-round detachable box magazine. It's equipped with an APX L806 scope, a 3.85x optic similar to the German ZF-4. The video notes the use of PPU 7.5mm ammunition, which is described as "not particularly good," with the results reflecting this. For a more thorough evaluation, the rifle was sent to 9 Hole Reviews.
