Dons, Yea,expecting a large hit on the expense of the scope mounting! Hoping to find a local guy with a good rep to do it step by step so I can pay the same way. I think I have seen the rifle you saw,it is listed under Zivilmauser on a sight initialled F.J. right? I wish my rifle had the side safety that one does,but I like my caliber more! Luckily the bluing on my rifle is 99% so I dont fear the new bluing on the scope and montage,as long as they rust blue it like original! The early Zeiss scopes are pretty easy to disasemble too,the Zielsechs I have for this job was obtained from a Canadian WW2 Vet that picked it up out of a burnt out house in Bavaria! When I obtained it, It was still in its partially charred "Leder Kocher" wearing its original Zeiss leather occular covers marked "Zielsechs" on the rear cover. The scope was undamaged but the lubricating grease had boiled and vaporized all over the inner sides of the lenses it had got so hot!! I disassembled,cleaned everything,relubed with correct grease,and reassembled. The scope is as clear and bright as a new Zeiss! Adjustments(elevation and paralax)work superbly also. Shame the mounts have to be sweated off too,becouse the bluing is like new still! These prewar German scopes really were ahead of there time! Kevin.
