Bought a new repro from Numrich (GPCorp) and it doesn't fit in the mount rings with the scope mounted in the forward direction (large objective lens to the front). It does fit in the rings reversed.
I made some measurements of the ring slot area widths and the spacing between the rings.
The mount from member caesar1 is believed to be a refinished original. At least he was informed it was original.
zf41
Front ring
Scope .548
Mount .551
Rear ring
Scope .560
Mount .530
Between rings
Scope 1.58"
Mount 1.59"
It looks like my Numrich scope ring width in the front is too narrow so it won't set into the mounts front ring.
One collector and measured his older Numrich scope at about 0.540 and the mount ring (accumount) at about 0.530. He thought it went in tight when he installed it a year or so ago.
Can anyone with a numrich repro scope and original scope/mount set tell me what they are seeing for the dimensions? Is my repro scope out of spec and should be returned?
I'd rather not buy another mount or grind on an original if I didn't have to.
Also is there another scope/mount combo with higher mag and larger mm sight picture that works with a K98 zf41 rail? The zf41 scope really doesn't by a shooter much.
