Any advise on Emil Kerner rifles and Nickel Optik scopes would be appreciated.

Thanks.

HP,

Emil Kerner - the name rings a bell but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Web Site?

Nickel Optik - now there's a name you don't hear too often. In at least one independant German study (years ago) they were suggested as being the best riflescope available. I had one of their (monster, a 3-12x56 w/German #1 recticle) scopes on a Sauer 80 that has since been sold and yes, it was very good.

HP,

Had to do a little searching myself....

For additional info, solid web site, they sell direct so no middleman which makes their prices attractive IMO.

...nice finding Gerry - thats looking good - especially their magnum 1.5-6x30 EDS - 4,9 in. eye relief

Thanks Gerry. I have Nickel's website already bookmarked in my favorites. I really needed confirmation of their quality, which you have provided.

Still looking for info on E. Kerner. I have the opportunity to purchase a Mauser 98 sporter made by him at a good price.

I have seen several Nickel Scopes, I agree the super mag scope is a find, I would like to get my hands on a couple of them

HP,

Sounds like a find, most of the custom Buchsenmacher '98's rifles are good rifles. Can't dind much on Emil Kerner though.
