Picked up this scope/mount combo recently for a reasonable sum, supposedly it is for a K98 however none of the books mention it. There are no markings on the mount but it appears to be WWII or at least a few decades old judging from the wear/bluing loss. Mount is too wide for a zf41 rail. Also scope seems soldered to the mount, I can't get it off. any ideas what this might be? Did I uncover a rare variation or did Bubba strike again?[IMG]<a href="http://s709.photobucket.com/albums/ww98/waa214/?action=view¤t=TXTIMGP0876.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww98/waa214/TXTIMGP0876.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s709.photobucket.com/albums/ww98/waa214/?action=view¤t=TXTIMGP0879-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww98/waa214/TXTIMGP0879-1.jpg" border="0" alt="ZF4 1"></a>[/IMG]

Mount
Im guessing a post war adaptation for a sporterized mauser or something similar by German gunsmiths eager for work. I picked up a Luftwaffe marked zf-4 on a sporterized K98 and the amount of work on rings and mount was amazing. -
Thanks Steve! Mount looks just like mine. Is that a short side rail?Comment

Dual lever, but it came in with a short side rail,,this mount would look great on a pre WWII 98,,,just a nice shooter as it isComment
