Okay guys, I know some of you would disagree with what I want to do, but I just want an opinion about the quality of the reproduction ZF39 scopes and mounts (the drill and tap kind, oh no!). I am already aware of the hefty prices of gunsmithing.

I want to convert a RC Kar98kicon into a sniper rifle for mostly reenacting purposes, since I would like to display the tactics used by german snipers on the battlefield (without using a 5000 dollar actual sniper rifle). I've been researching German sharpshooters for a while and feel that they were very interesting and deserve more representation.

Has anyone had any experience with these repro kits? They seem to be the only reproduction ZF39 scopes on the market.
