Opinons Please Regarding this Sniper

Opinons Please Regarding this Sniper rifle. Go or no Go.
It is NOT mine. Have only the Pictures that i got from a another collector. I think the rifle maybe is in Germany and it is for sale.

Same faker as this one here ... see http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?19601-Very-nice-BYF-43-44-HT-sniper-fake-or-real-deal . Notice the same background on both rifles.

Aside, CAD on a LT mount? And no stopping screw in the front turret base? Adjustment turret has a hole on the front side too for the fixture screw ... yeah . Pretty sure the scale ring is also not original, looks like aluminum to me, where it should be zinc.

But thanks for posting the pictures, good reference for future identification of this rifle as a fake! I wonder how you got to be offered this rifle?

Boy, will that rifle fool a lot of people and it will probably be doing so fifty years from now. What a legacy to leave the world.

Normally I would agree with you, but some late byf rifles have reused low turret bases, should be possible to see Cad scopes.
