This video explores the M98kF1 ZF41, a German World War II sniper rifle that was re-purposed and modified by Norway. Following the war, hundreds of thousands of German rifles, including ZF41 models, were surrendered to Norway. The Norwegians maintained these rifles and later re-barreled many Mauser actions, including the ZF41 variants, to .30-06 caliber (7.62x63mm) starting in 1950. The video details the markings indicating their Norwegian service and the numbering system for the re-barreled scope mounts. These modified rifles served in the Norwegian Home Guard until the early 1970s when they were replaced by the AG3.

This video features Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons discussing the Finnish Winter War and Continuation War. The scenario presents a Finnish Army Sergeant deep behind Soviet lines in December 1942, ambushed and left as the sole survivor of their patrol. The Sergeant must escape on skis, choosing between an empty Finnish M39 rifle and a German Kar98k with a ZF41 scope and full ammunition. The discussion covers the effectiveness of these firearms in Arctic conditions, ski combat, and the M39's performance against the Kar98k. It also mentions a discount code for Slate Black Industries.

This video analyzes the practical accuracy of the Kar98k rifle equipped with a Zf41 scope, often referred to as a "DMR" (Designated Marksman Rifle) in historical context. It explores the scope's historical context, its misapplication to snipers, and its performance on the range up to 500 yards. The content features guests from InRange TV and details the process of zeroing the scope. It also highlights the difference between this setup and a true Zf39 scoped sniper rifle, and confirms it's the same Kar98k system seen in the game PUBG.

This video delves into the fascinating history of the Norwegian Kar98K-F2 Zf41. It explores the transformation of a pre-World War German K98k rifle into a Norwegian service rifle following the war, highlighting its unique post-war service life and modifications.

This YouTube video showcases a 2-Gun Action Challenge Match featuring two iconic World War II sniper rifles: a British No4 MkI (T) Enfield with a 3.5x No.32 scope and a German Mauser K98k with a 1.5x ZF41 scope. The match pits the two rifles against each other to determine if the ZF41's faster acquisition or the Enfield's greater magnification provides a significant advantage in competitive shooting. Both rifles are authentic, though the scopes are reproductions.
