Roger Payne's Milsurp Collection

[Sigismund]

Very impressive collection. I love your high turret k98k.
What code is your rifle? Im guessing the scope on that rifle is a CAD mared zielvier Hensholdt?

Very nice!

Actually, I'm cheating on this one. I sold it last year, but still had some pictures of it! It came back from the Italian campaign & ended up in New Zealand, so I guess a Kiwi liberated it. It was complete with a neat kitbag cut across the fore-end. I never changed the stock as it was original. Scope & bolt are matching. The only non-matching bit was the butt plate -- the original chequered example having been replaced by a standard type. However, I tracked down a real on in the US & fitted it shortly after I acquired the piece in the mid-90's. You are right that the scope is a military contract cad with the long objective housing & detachable snow/rain/glare shield.

Of course, the rarest bit is what's clamped to the muzzle..........!
