    Taking my mauser out hunting

    I am planning on taking my Czech 1945 k98 out hog hunting this weekend but there is some rain that will be expected. I know that these were made to handle muddy trenches to the street fighting.

    Understanding the German post site

    The scope I bought in e-bay and mounted on a yugo m48 bo. The original bolt on the yugo m48 doesn't bend as sharp as the 98k so I had them bend the bolt. That and drill and tap are the only gunsmithing I have done. At 100 yds I have gotten groups of 5touching within 1.5 in from each other.

    Hinsoldt-wetzlar 4x scope

    I was thinking. If this replacement disk is for a 3x scope and mine is a 4x scope, the distance markers might not line up quite exactly. Would that be correct?

    Hinsoldt-wetzlar 4x scope

    Would you know where I can find the specs of the crosshairs like how wide of an area does the crosshair cover? Or any way to get a guess of range of a target using just the crosshairs?

    Hinsoldt-wetzlar 4x scope

    What is the ring towards the back of the scope that has the screw for? Also would you know of any "accessories" that would fit on the scope like a sunshade, etc?

    Hinsoldt-wetzlar 4x scope

    Yes it was ground. The m48 bolt is not as bent as the kar98k. When I had the scope and long side rail installed, I asked them to make sure it can cycle. The bolt does match the rifle

    Hinsoldt-wetzlar 4x scope

    If I do go this route I might just get it with a visa gift card. I'm curious though on when this scope was made cause through my research so far I haven't found a scope that shares the german t post with a black dot in the middle.

    Hinsoldt-wetzlar 4x scope

    There's not much found on the barrel except for a faint 4 stampped behind the rear site base. I can provide more in depth pictures when I get off work.
