IMHO it would not be wise to rule out the possibility that the Scope was originally used as HT Scope the Serial is 40803 . Yes it outside of typical 41XXX Range HT Scopes ,but it is also very close to 41000 range .
I recall a discussion not long ago about blc Zeiss being used on HT and some were saying not original it is suspect . The Rifle was BYF43 k suffix , after careful observations and some new info it was learned that this was right at the change over from LT to HT . All I am saying is one should leave possibilities open , If this one exists another may also exist with 408XX or 409XX . Best Regards
