Fantastic rifle

In May 2018 Gene bought an original LSR sniper rifle at a yard sale. He posted pics of his rifle here: http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?31803-scopeless-LSR-yard-sale-find . For this rifle he later purchased an original mount and an original scope, which of course are mismatching.
A bit more than a week ago an online auction appeared offering the scope mount matching to his rifle. Gene was made aware of it, needless to say he purchased it. As a result to this he is now the owner of an original all matching LSR sniper rifle made by Sauer. It was re-mated with its original mount, probably decades after it was split from it.
A great looking rifle, I hope you will post some more pictures of it when you finished doing the plumber

IMHO this is what is suppose to transpire when someone finds a Matching Mount to a known Rifle or Vise Versa . You do what needs to be done so the 2 are ReUnited . Looks Great Gene , Congratulations on Your ReUnification !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great looking rifle Gene. Glad you got the scope. Please post detailed pictures so we can pic sticky it for future reference.

Amazing find, lightening struck twice. Maybe you’ll find the original can in a few months

That is a kick a$$ cool story. Love it.
Congrats !
I agree 100% with my friend Dave. It’s the way it should be for history.
I have been lucky enough to have a couple items go through my hands
That were reunited, as much as I hoped that they would be reunited in my collection, in the end it really didn’t matter. I wouldn’t change a thing. great feeling.
Back in the day before the internet and the old KCN i remember it happened a couple times.
.... on a non German note, after 26 years of lookin, and livin in Az. Just about 2 years ago
I was able to locate the matched mount for my No4 mkI-T in eastern Canada. Got it here and it looks great.
...
The internet has really allowed this to happen much more frequently.
