(Gewehr -Zielfernrohr 41/1 mit Kasten) The 1.5 power magnification ZF41 sharpshooters scope was designed for use with the K98 carbine, and was first issued in quantities in 1941. In 1942 it was ordered that six percent of all K98 carbines manufactured be equipped with the ZF41 mounting base, and issued with the scope and carrying case. The first issues of the scope were designated "ZF41", while later issues were designated "ZF41/1". 1.5 power, blued, tooled steel and sheet metal construction, scope with milled range elevation adjustment dial and side rail bridge mount. Range adjustment dial varies from 100 to 800 metres. Windage adjustment is set internally. Scope is roughly 5 1/4" long with a 1/2" diameter at ocular lense and a 7/8" diameter at objective lense. Scope retains about 90% of its original bluing with some minimal light surface spotting. Optics are still clean and clear and have the typical single vertical and dual horizontal side bar reticle pattern sights.
FG42 is a lot more rare in .66. There's some on Berlin, Sector 318, and I believe on Bocage. The scoped STG is a lot more common now.
