VETTERLI 71 KARABINER MARKSMAN. (See also, VETTERLI 71 KARABINER). The addition of the Marksman scope seems a natural addition to the Vetterli, allowing enhanced magnification and better precision at medium range.

The life went out Lower DeSalle long before the affliction arrived. You'd of thought that when word reached us the corruption, the rot, that we would be up in arms. That we'd do everything we could to stop it. But the reality was not how we thought. People just pretended it wasn't happening, they didn't want to change their ways. And it swept through and killed us.
Leaving home was the easiest thing I'd ever done. With Papa in the ground, well. Gabe promised me, through hacking coughs, the shop would be in good hands. It wasn't long after I got briefly tangled up with Samson and Leander, and I told you how that happened.
Word then came that the rot was in DeSalle. Well that much was obvious, I'd told them when I'd come. But the hunters weren't listeners. They'd swap stories and tell tall tales but wouldn't hear the truth bellowing in their midst.
It was then that my employment picked up, working as a local guide. As far as I recall, I was the only one "survivor" from DeSalle. So I returned home, or close enough. After I gave the hunters the lay of the land, I'd camp up at the watchtower near the plantation. Closer than that, and the roaring silence of my memories would be too much.
It was through the old Marksman s scope on the Vetterli, while keeping watch, that I first spied something that wasn't right at the plantation. Of course, nothing was right about all of this. Things had been wrong since the piano man changed. Even wronger since Papa died, and what happened to Leander.
What I mean is, that it was then I noticed the strange things that weren't hunters, or the rot. Did you ever hear the old stories about the Pearl Plantation?
