[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2915573, member: 16869"] A couple years back I bought an all-original 1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine built in 1929. The 1903's are in caliber 6.5x54mm MS. On that carbine is an Oigee-Berlin fixed 4x scope with a German #1 reticle. The scope serial number puts it as being built somewhere in the 1931-1933 time frame. I haven't had the opportunity to check the clarity against the high-dollar scope brands, but have had multiple shooters compare it to Leupolds, Nikons, Weavers, etc. and they claim it's just as clear. That having been said, I'm not exposing that rifle to any high humidity if I can possibly avoid it. The detachable scope mounts were hand fitted in Austria and are serial numbered to the rifle.
