    I've searched google and can't find an answer. A lot of pic's of "sniper" TRG-22's were civilian clones with any old optic. Found pics of Finnish snipers using the Kahles but it wasn't on the TRG-22. So my question. What scope does the Finnish Army use on its TRG-22 7.62 sniper rifle?
     
    My current guess is the Kahles 624i based on this pic from Europe Sniper Competition 2018 in Grafenwoehr

    The Finnish military uses Zeiss Victory Diavari 3-12×56 with Finndot reticle and a bdc-turret on their TRG42s. The few TRG22s and 21s in use are only used for competition and the ones I've seen were also equipped with the aforementiomed Zeiss.

    This is indeed correct, the 8.6 TKIV 2000 is the TRG-42 and is issued with that scope. Apparently the TRG-21 was planned for sniper use also, but the TRG-42 became the widely issued rifle.

    Here's the only picture I've seen of the TRG-21 in field use (and here it's used by a conscript as seen from the enlisted cockade, so it's 100% sure FDF issue), but it doesn't seem to have the Zeiss on it. I have no idea what the scope is, maybe someone could help identifying it?
