Optics for old weapons.

Post by fantamichele »

In the shop there are 4 vintage rifles:

1) bolt action .30-06 english
2) 7.62x54R Bolt Action Rifle
3) English rifle Bolt Action .303
4) 8x57 IS K98k Bolt Action Rifle

these rifles have very limited optics. It would not be necessary to add a better telescope?
I propose a telescope like the one in the picture that can be used for all 4 rifles.
It could be 3-9 x 40 like the Anschütz optics, in this way the 4 rifles could be used in a better way, even for shots over 200 meters. Currently it is difficult to exceed 120 meters with a good view.
The optical that you see in the picture is mounted on a Mosin Nagant

That... looks very uncomfortable.
I would vowe to give several rifles historic scopes with a higher magnification.
Having a high, fixed magnufication would also balance things out a bit.
For example this Zeiss Zielacht 8x scope for the Karabiner 98:

I am not really sure about the Unertl 7.8x for the Springfield, but why not, eh?

Spends all the gold and money to buy new weapons in the shape of guns.

Perfect, it seems like a very good choice. In this way the ancient weapons can be used in a more performing way.

The US army up until recently used fixed 10x scopes to repeatedly shoot targets at 1000+ meters, for this game with a render distance of 220m, a 6x scope is ample and in my opinion a 9, 10 or 12 power optic is way too much. Plus these old rifles weren't designed to have these optics, unless they are sporterised.
