I have received the rifle from the auction house.
I have totally removed the stock and it has no
Markings except the 60xx F serial number.
And a H and looks like a L across the top of the barrel. The scope based for a double claw has been installed on front ring and has been cut for the rear ring/ but no base . Any help to identify would be helpfull

Your pictures are extremely poor. It seems you take them in a dark room with only little artificial light and the object to be pictured also holding in your hands, hence two always lightly moving objects (camera + object to be pictured) what causes blurred pictures. It would be much better if you:
1. use natural daylight - do the pictures while you have daylight. Best outside, on a cloudy day
2. only hold the camera (I suppose you're using a mobile?) and never as well what you want to take a picture of - best to hold camera with both hands
3. do overall pictures as well and try to get the object that you take pictures of straight. Meaning when you take a picture make sure to show the full receiver length from left to right and also horizontally aligned

Based on your pictures I have the feeling that you are looking at one of the post war Czech assembled sniper rifles of which so far it is known they exist, but not really on who used them and when exactly they were made. The absence of a code and year on your receiver point in this direction. Also the fact that you mention a capital letter F to be following the serial would perfectly fit to these rifles. A good start for you would be to read here -> https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/czech-ss-double-claw-sniper-swp-45.24429/

To though answer your question from the starting post - it so far is not known what the correct scope to your rifle is, hence to find the correct scope to it is at the moment not possible. A SS DC mounted dow+ coded scope will not fit and is not period correct for it, this at least I can tell you.

PS: does your rifle feature a winter trigger guard?
