I was wondering if there was a company that made Replica WWII German ZF39 or ZF41 scopes. The real ones seem so rare and out of reach :(

I'm trying to assess if its feasible to make a clone k98 sniper.
 
As mentioned, you can get ZF39 clones readily on EBay and a few other vendor sites. (though they are in the States so import/export is an issue).

There are no Zf41 clones on the market yet as they have a complicated lens system (7 lens I believe!) that would be tough and expensive to replicate. I am sure someone will make a simplified internal Zf41 clone soon though with the market the way it is.

If you plan to shoot it, I would go with the zf39. It is 4x and a nice wide FOV. The Zf41 is cool from a collector standpoint but it is 1.5x and a very small FOV so it is very limited as a sighting aid. I have one and it is fun but the full size scope is the way to go.
