Re: Mauser scope
Have a look at Accumounts too.
If you are going for an LSR, get the steel rings, not the thin profile ones, they will secure the scope a lot better. These 8mm have a fair recoil!
Also the LSR is said to be more stable of the side mounts, more so than the earlier SSR (of which the third version is the best - three screws/locking screws/pins to secure to the receiver wall).
The benefit of these side mounts is that (a) they are removable) and (b) it is still possible to use the iron sights with the scopes mounted.
There are good repros of some of the high and low turret mounts (Robert Spielauer at K98k.for example) but personally I've not used them yet, although I would not rule out a project with them at some stage.
On the scope, don't rule out EGay...I've bought a couple of good ZF39's from a guy in Frankfurt, Germany (his Ebay name is germansniper1, always seem to have accurate descriptions and a good choice) - there is usually a good selection of Zeiss, Ajack, Hensoldt, Dialytan etc. to look through. And don't rule out some of the smaller, quirky pre-war German manufacturers there were many different ones and not all scoped 98k's sported the big name scopes - because they are relatively unknown, they tend to come in quite a bit under the known names.
Be prepared for some "interesting" pricing - there are a couple of Dialytan x4 on there right now for around $300-$400...and then one from a guy in the US for $2,400! Not clear why he thinks it is worth this much (it does not have the typical 3 post reticle, nor does it appear to have any markings denoting usage by those "elite" German units that usually command such a price tag). FWIW I've never paid more than $600 (and that was for a mint ZF39 Zielsechs).
Also have a look at '50's/'60's Pecar scopes that are a little more "classic/vintage" looking but offer some of the more "new fangled" refinements than the '30's/'40's era scopes (Like calibrated dials with clicks and windage adjustment!
)
