Pressing the catch on the rear base rearwards allows the rear of the scope to be angled upwards allowing the front mounts hooks to be disengaged.Īlthough we commonly associate British double rifles with Africa and dangerous game they were and still are frequently made for hunting in Britain and Europe and will be found in calibers from 7mm up to 8mm as deer stalking rifles. This Nickel Supra rifle-scope is mounted in quick detachable claw mounts. These rifle-scopes were commonly fitted to British made rifles in the fifties up into the mid-sixties as were the German Ajack and Pecar. Purely looking at the rifle-scope, which is a German Nickel Supra 1-4x E/S, should place its making in the pre-war thirties or post war fifties and sixties.
