Duke, go to the beginning of this thread and look at the third post. It was YOU who found the Meopta ZF-4 repro on the Gun Parts Corp. site.

Hehe. You are correct. Must have had a brain lock once I decided to go ZF39.
Thanks!

I built my SSR with an Accumounts type 3- good quality! zf4 in the works now.
Nice that you went for the partial notch around the mount rather than the full cut through
Very best ZF4 mounts come out of Ukraine or Ebay and are often sold as "originals" to new collectors. These can be found on Ebay from time to time.
Waffenmeister in the US has good quality Taiwanese produced SSR mounts. Top rail slid right onto my original bottom rail without fitting.
AASniper in France has very good European produced copies of almost every German mount but are the most expensive.

About 5 years ago I rolled the dice on a RSM chinese made LSR mount with ZF39 scope. The mount was decent. But the scope was not. The more I fired it the more it lost its focus. I reached out to RSM and got no response for months. After I finally found a decent vintage (probably not WW2 vintage though) Hensoldt scope, they responded. But it was too late.
Sarco also had some ZF39 scopes that I saw on their table once at a show. They looked good but I couldnt find on the box where it was made. Some claimed the Sarco scope was made in Taiwan. But I dont know for sure.

People have had good luck with AASniper98 website before? I've tried twice to buy from them, but their website rejects fails on their payment system for me personally.

I think a lot of those repop telescopes were schlepped together in Belarus. They don't look all that bad on the outside, but it's like you said -- once the shooting starts, they turn to watery sh*t.
Which is why I recommended the Meopta to the OP. A ZF4 probably wouldn't be someone's first choice for a repro sniper, but at least the Meopta is an authentic looking reproduction sight that's properly manufactured and has a real warranty. All you've gotta do is put it in a decent mount.

I had the same issue. Some emails resolved my issue and I have always been happy with their products.

I see, so you just sent them email about the issue and they helped you?
Yes. I forgot the exact problem but via email they were able to help.
I ordered from them just in the fall of 2020.
