So the ZF39 is a traditional scope that you could use today. The Germans werent the only ones to do this, especially in the pre and early war years. Actually the original scopes were sporter designs. Basically there were three kinds of K98 snipers (actually more but we'll keep it sorta simple).įIRST was the ZF39-think of this as a sporter rifle in military dress. I started looking at WW2 Mausers and from there sporterized full stocked Mannlicher style rifles and finally to K98 snipers.įoe those not in the "know" and for you guys who dont measure screw threads to see if they are English or metric before handing over cash heres a short and very flawed course but itll get you started. After several false starts and a few new rifles for me. Today's pondering comes out of a search for a hunting rifle for my bride. It usually sparked by some other issue or maybe a simple as watching an old movie (my recent Martini Henry search was fueled by watching Zulu and Zulu Dawn). Every once and a while I go off on exotic tangents, OK weird tangents. I put this in the Bon Vivant section because its more of a quest for a shooter toy than a serious sniper rifle.
