I was fortunate enough to buy a German-Made Zeiss rifle scope while stationed in Ramstein, Germany in the early 80's. Bought it in a gun shop in Landstuhl, Germany with a VAT-Free certificate. The scope is a Zeiss Diavari ZA, 30mm, 1.5-6X42 T*, marked "Made in West Germany". It's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship I have mounted on a Pre-64 Mod 70 in 280AI with Millet Contoured 2-Pc bases and EAW 30MM rings. The rifle has been inactive for near 15 years and I find I need to make some reticle adjustments to zero it back in. The turrets are marked "1 Click = 1cm/100m". The horizontal has a CW arrow marked R. The vertical has a CW arrow marked H. Does H mean up? I have no German but maybe the H is connected to the word "Hochsitz - High Seat". Can someone help me please. I also posted this in the Optics Forum hoping to widen my pool of readers. Sure want to get this rig back in action.
