Rifle Scopes Old Ajack scope... Anybody know about it?

[scullti]

Hey all, I just picked up an Ajack 3x75 serial number 28823 for my k98 mauser, and I was wondering if anyone on here knew much about this scope? I was trying to google as much as I could, but not a whole lot is turning up. I'm happy with the scope (especially since I got it for cheap), and it completes my k98 nicely, I'd just like to know what the history (if any) is behind it.

And since pictures are worth 1000 words:

I appreciate anything you guys can come up with!

Re: Old Ajack scope... Anybody know about it?

Adolph Jackenroll was a company located in Berlin when your scope was made.
They made good scopes, and the 4X90 were standard on the Swedish M41b and many German sniper rifles of the time.
Here's a link to adjusting one of them.

Just in case.
I know your's isn't the same model, but I believe the adjustment should be the same.

Thanks, those instructions are definitely useful. The adjustment is all the same system, so I should be able to make it work with that link you provided. I've been told that this scope was possibly contracted for Finnish rifles, but I haven't been able to find anything that confirms that...
