Parker Hale M82 Rifles

[desperatedan]

Do we know whether the scopes came back to the UK with the C3 rifles when they were returned to Parker Hale or did the scopes stay in Canada?

If they were not sent back with the rifles then trying to track one down in Canada/US might be your best bet.

Found this thread here where an original Canadian scope pouch is shown, as well as the matching scope to that pouch - with serial 158.666 -> Firearms - pls remove sold -Parker hale C3 clone | Snipers Hide Forum . Can anyone confirm this would be the correct serial range for Canadian scopes? Or is there even anything such as the "Canadian Serial Range" for ZF69 scopes?


Thanks for the clarification re RALS scope rings. I'll then need to find RALS3 scope rings.

Georg,

It might be best to find the scopes first as hopefully they will come with the correct rings.

Here's some photos of my later ZF69 (22xxxx serial) and my Kahles ZF95. They are both 26mm tubes. To show the difference the rings make my ZF69 has RALS3 rings fitted and the ZF95 has RALS4 rings. The RALS3's only just fit on the 26mm tube and you can see the difference in the ring gaps in the photos. Once I find some RALS4 rings I will replace those on my ZF69.

If you find the correct serial scope(s) without rings with a diameter that requires the RALS3 ones, let me know and I'll happily send you some.

I hope this is helpful.

Kevin.

My C3 Kahles zf69s are between 158,64x thru 158,77x

Many (or all) of the scopes were surplused in Khan-Eh-Duh.
One of the dealers claims to have sent back a large number to Kahles for rebuild.
