The European scopes

Many are out there but if you have a claw mount with the rings check the size of the rings..They go from 26 mm and up..especially the older claw mounts.. And if ya find an old Zeiss or whichever brand..it'll probably be very expensive anyway..and may need to be worked on..Many are 80 yrs old..or near to it.. The Zeiss on my Pre War Oberndorf Mauser is from 1932 or 33. . Pretty gun..but probably going to leave here..Hard to find bullets for an 8x51 318 bore..and it's just not the most..useable.... caliber anyway. Cases I have or can make.. Bullets are very limited in scope.. I have shot the darn thing a little. Surprising how close to zero the scope is after taking off and putting back on.. Those ol guys knew how to make stuff.
