The German Zeiss Zielvier 4×(ZF39) telescopic sight had bullet drop compensation in 50 m(55 yd) increments for ranges from 100 to 800 m (109 to 875 yd)or in some variations from 100 to 1, 000 m (109 to 1, 094 yd). Therewere ZF42 4×, Zeiss Zielsechs 6× and Zielacht 8× telescopic sights by various manufacturers like the Ajack 4× and 6×, Hensoldt Dialytan 4×, Kahles Heliavier4× and Opticotechna Dialytan 4× with similar features employed on Karabiner 98ksniper rifles.[17] Several different mountings produced by variousmanufacturers were used.[18] The Karabiner 98k was not designed toaccept telescopic sights.[19]Attaching such sights to a Karabiner 98krequired machining by a skilled armourer. A telescopic sightmounted low above the center axis of the receiver will not leave enough spacebetween the rifle and the telescopic sight body for unimpaired operation of thebolt handle or the three-position safety catchlever. This ergonomic problem was solved by mounting the telescopicsight relatively high above the receiver and sometimes modifying or replacingthe safety operating lever or using an offset mounting to position thetelescopic sight axis to the left side in relation to the receiver center axis.A common minor modification was replacing the stock buttplate with a waffledanti-slip "sniper" buttplate. Approximately 132, 000 of these sniperrifles were produced by Germany.[20]
