What did you spot?
Theoretically there could be the chance that the SS scrubbed a Mauser made Gew98 receiver or used a Mauser Standard Modell for SSR conversion, so technically it is not correct to say that on a Mauser made receiver there could not be a SSR sniper rifle. But of course not with a byf coded receiver.Mauser did not make short side rails, it’s literally that easy.

It is certainly disconcerting that a "reputable" collectible firearm seller would post this rifle for 10k.
I wish they employed one of the experts from this forum.
Pursuing legit K98k rifles is a much more difficult task than collecting, say M1 Garands, Colt Pythons, etc.
At least it is for me. It's a veritable minefield out there, what company can you trust?
Could also read asIf you don’t want to take time to learn, when all the information you need is provided in the K98k book series and freely here, then K98k collecting is not for you.
Since this applies to basically everything.If you don’t want to take time to learn, then collecting is not for you.
Aside of that: HWZ marked mount is SS, so wrong for the Army SSR sniper this one is trying to resemble.
You have made this comment in the past that (HWZ Mounts is only SS) . I would like know do You have any proof and or documentation that proves Your statement to be factual or is this just Your personal opinion ?? .
I ask because , You made a similar matter of fact state about the Locking Levers with Cutout . Here is Your Quote (Additionally the locking lever on the mount has the cutout to see where the pin in the base goes into - (this is a feature of post WWII made versions of the SSR mount.) Which was proven to not be correct .
This is my personal opinion which is based on observation and discussion with other collectors. I did not find the document yet stating which marking to be used with which organization, otherwise I would had shared this one. The thought-to-predate the Ajack SS DG Hensoldt scopes come with HWZ marked SSR mounts. Ajack with lower serial numbers are on HWZ marked mounts. Ajack with higher serial numbers are on large WEIHRAUCH marked mounts. And the early Wehrmacht SSR mounts also are with the large WEIHRAUCH marked mounts; these are distinguishable by the much different font and font size on the mount whereas the SS Dienstglas scopes all have the same font used on the SSR mounts. Therefore my understanding is that only SS (in my context here SS always includes Police) used HWZ marked mounts.You have made this comment in the past that (HWZ Mounts is only SS) .

I'm a bit confused. Proven to not be incorrect means I was proven to be correct in my statement. Is that what you wanted to say?I ask because , You made a similar matter of fact state about the Locking Levers with Cutout .

Hmm. On a side note apparently my everyday carry is 'worth' $2k so there's that from my foxhole.

That’s ridiculous. Someone paying that for that deserves that rooting. The problem is someone trying to sell one will believe it’s worth that.
May I therefore on the counterpart ask whether you have any proofs for HWZ marked mounts being used on a rifle not being SS/Police, in specific, on a Sauer K98k rifle? Really enjoying this discussions because these in depth details help a lot learning from other persons opinions and research and can help establish theories.
When you present a theory, as you have done, the burden is on you to prove it correct.
