Seems easier than trying to muddle through the other two places.
Looks like can still teach an old dawg a new trick - patience huh!
thank you very much
--------------------------------------------------------------

Steyr Zephyr .22 LR, 1962, 19.5" barrel, DST's, Hensoldt/Wetzlar 2 1/2x scope, German #1 reticle (most likely this scope was manufactured by Carl Zeiss, as I have a twin to it that is marked Carl Zeiss), Hensoldt scope rings/mount, and this is not a Stoeger import marked carbine. Made from 1955 - 1971. Wonderfully accurate, able to hit empty .40 S&W brass cases out past 40 yards!

Stevens 'Favorite', .22 LR, has a Numrich Arms replacement barrel, Weaver 2 1/2x, 3/4" diameter scope.

Note the scope mounting, which keeps the scope low over the bore.

It's the other way around. Post-war "Zeiss" west Germany scopes are actually made at the Hensoldt factory to Hensoldt's designs. Since about 1930 Hensoldt in Wetzlar was a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss, Jena. After 1945 Jena was in east Germany, GDR, and the original Zeiss factory was under communist control. Those parts of the Zeiss combine in western Germany were reorganized as "Carl Zeiss (West)". Zeiss west continued producing scopes and binoculars of Hensoldt designs (Dialytan, Diasta, Diatal. Diavari, Diapi etc.)at the Hensoldt, Wetzlar factory and sold them under the established Hensoldt name. About 1970 Zeiss West renamed the Hensoldt made line, selling them under the "Zeiss" label from then on. So the "made in West Germany" Zeiss scopes are really "Hensoldt" ones.

Know what you mean, Daryl.

Even the least accurate of my .22s, a Ruger All-Weather 77-22 (got it back in '92 or '93), can still do the job and there's no fancy wood to worry about scuffing up.

Took this critter 3 weeks ago in the Veld I call my Back-Fortay ... I used a special "Coon-stopper" load.

44.8lbs of racoon.


Aguila's subsonic "sniper" load - 60gns of round-nosed lead stuffed into a .22 Short case.



Compared with most.22 fodder out there, it's accuracy is marginal.
But the shot was under 40yds, and that distance the subsonic slug will stay within "minute-of-coon" all day.

Thank you for sharing the history on Hensoldt/Zeiss scopes.

This shows the labeling of each one. Excellent+ optics.

.22's certainly run the full spectrum, from the Zephyr to this small sized Crickett, as well as everything in between.

Shown is a Crickett brand .22 LR single shot, 3-7x Barska scope. This one is kept in the kitchen for easy access when a mischievous/destructive tree rat is spotted messing around in the backyard. Primarily use the Aguila .22 LR Super Colibre ammunition - 20 gr bullet, no powder, priming compound is the power source, about 550 fps. Adequately accurate out to 60 yards. The 20 gr pellet/bullet works well.

This is the .22 I used to shoot myself into Master class in Outdoor Position shooting. Like all of my other .22 Match rifles it has been passed on to other shooters, now that I am no longer able to compete.

CZ452 wearing a LedLenser P7 - night time bunny slayer



Evidence to support the claim:




Actually I used the light more frequently with the remote switch taped to the stock - I don't have any photos of this arrangement though.

As we are talking about .22 rifles here and already mentioned Hensoldt scopes: About 1960 Hensoldt, Wetzlar, made the smallest “rifle scope” I have seen yet, the DIAPI 1 ½ x 7.5. With a length of 137 mm = 5.4” and a tube diameter of merely 14 mm = .553” it is pen sized only.

Here it is mounted on my old Mauser single shot

This tiny precision instrument was designed as a rule breaker, a “non-scope” that is. The then rules of the DSB, the German Target Shooters Union, prohibited the use of scopes in small bore competition. But elderly shooters were allowed to use “optical aiming aids”, provided these did not exceed specified size and magnification limits and featured a simple post reticle. In short order both Hensoldt and competing Nickel, Marburg designed such tiny scopes that qualified as “optical aiming aids” to make use of the gap in the rules. Of course, soon the rules were changed and the gap allowing such scopes closed. So, after just a few years, there was no reason any more to make these miniature scopes. Now, they are quite rare.
The competing, but longer B.Nickel, Marburg, PICCOLO 1 1/2 x.

I found when I had a torch attached to my scope with a scope ring, that it made the rifle inaccurate. I had trouble hitting rabbits and hares in the head consistently like I used to. One day took the torch off, and suddenly the problem ceased. So then attached it to the barrel. Less of a problem but still affected accuracy. I think the only way is on the stock.

Interesting point, I didn't notice any adverse affects shooting mine this way, but the ranges were close. I'll try and remember to take the torch and clamp to the range next time and see what the effects are from a bench rest.

For example I used to use my .22 Magnum to head shoot fallow deer on my farm. I usually test shoot it before using it. The accuracy was terrible. Sudden change after pulling the bloody torch off the scope.
