Edit: BTW, I love '96 and '98 action European rifles. My 1943 9.3x57 Swede is going hunting Sunday.

Thanks. Scope is still out in CA for service, frozen reticle dials. Will send photos later rjs

Would sure help to see some photo's. Could maybe give a little more info.

Hensoldt was an independent company up untill the 60s or a little later. They had a very good product line wich Zeiss was envious of so they bought the company and and produced the Hensold design as the zeiss Z series.

Zeiss retained the hensoldt name and but marketed Hensoldt as a military contract scope. The only ones I've seen were produced for the H&K 91 and were a fixed 4x that came with a stanag (spelling?) mount.
