I also understand that they were on German, Israeli and British sniper rifles. The British ones used a 4xPecar on some of the heavy barrel .303 and 7.62x51 NATO sniper rifles.

Is this correct?
Does anyone have information?
or can point me in the right direction.......

Enfield Enforcer's had the 4-10 Pecar Model V2 - S Telescope. Here is its Technical Data

Length 355 mm

Weight 455 gm

Magnification Variable - 4X to 10X

Field of View at 100 metres 4x - 31 ft

6x - 24 ft

8x - 18 ft

10x - 16 ft

Object Glass diameter 50 mm

Eye relief 80 mm

Reticule Interchangeable - 16 patterns available.

It was only fitted to Police Enforcer's not military rifles. I dont belive it was ever used for military as its probably not robust enough for dragging it into battle.L39 and L42's didnt have them. As to value there is one for sale on the internet today for...........wait for it .................£600 in good condition and one much older and been used well for £400. I can tell you its one of the best scopes made. Mine is superb. Quite a rare scope far harder to get then a No.32
For more info speak to
Alan De Enfield, he really knows his stuff about Enforcer's, also see his posts about Enfield Enforcer's
A good web site, the only web site about Pecar's is

Pecar was a mid-range German scope. According to the documents posted on a site about Enforcers that I cannot now recall the name of, it was the only scope considered - in other words there was no evaluation or selection process - it was chosen because Parker Hale had the agency for Pecar in the UK. Simple as that.

Interesting that the AJ Parker Matchmaker foresight has been removed in the photo above. The user didn't like the 'shadow' in his FOV apparently!

Here's the quote about the selection process for the enforcer scope (no details at all about alternatives, if indeed any were really tried):

In. selecting a suitable telescope for use for police purposes in conjunction with the L39 AI rifle, we narrowed the field down to two "Pecar'' telescopes.

Details are as follows:

Model - Magnification - Field of View at 100m - Length - Weight

11 S - 4X - 31 feet - 305 mm - 360 grammes

V2 S Variable - 4X to 1OX - 31 feet to16 feet - 355m - 455 grammes

Either of these telescopes is suitable for police work., Both are robust, and use steel, not light alloy tubes. All Pecar scopes have an interchangeable reticle system which permits any of sixteen different types to be used. These are simple to interchange, and we understand that zero is not lost in the process. A suitable mountingwould be required to fit either of these sights to the rifle, our enquiries revealed two alternative types of mounts for these sights.

From the Home Office declassified document pertaining to enforcers.

I wonder who bought the remaining replacement parts, reticules and scopes from Pecar when they closed down a few years ago. Does anyone have a clue?
