Hi Guys
Any one got any info on this rifle? I am trying to find out what scope they fitted.

I will give them credit for coming up a intergrated cheek rest........on russian sniper it's a chin to stock weld

The rail looks similar to the Swedish M41 mount. As the Sweeds were in Egypt to manufacture the Hakim there is a strong possibility this rail would fit a Swedish side rail scope mount.

Very interesting. Where is the rifle located?

Here is a photo of a reproduction side rail and mount.

It is a very interesting and nice rifle. Egypt had an arms deal with Czecho-Slovakia and huge quantities military items were supplied to the Egyptian army. I thing that this Meopta 3x scope would fit on this rifle just fine (what is the distance between two groves on the scope base?). I saw the same scope on Egyptian FN 49 sniper.

Two more pictures.

Rusnak Meopta did supply the scopes for the Egyptian FN-49 snipers. But the correct scope for the Egyptian FN-49 sniper rifle is different from the one you have pictured. The correct scope is a 2.5 power scope.

Here are a few photo of the proper scope for an Egyptian FN-49 sniper.

I just realized that this rifle looks just like ZG51. Here is a picture from russian-mosin-nagant.com

Yes it does look like the ZG51. The rail is set up for what we believe to be a night vision scope of some kind.

That must be the ultra rare left handed version...

Looks like you could fit a PU mount to the base on the Egyptian rifle.

It is most likely a rotated image. PU was probably on this rifle until it was replaced with something else.

A friend sent me this any more idea or a better picture of the scope bracket marking I lost the race in the auction on this one.

1. A Lebanese colleague has translated the Arabic markings on the rifle.
Although the 'Crest' looks Egyptian to me, he asks if you can get a
better/closer image? The rifle is marked 'Riyadh' to the left of the crest
- which does not make a lot of sense at first sight, any further info on
the use of the captical city of Saudi Arabia as a rifle name?

What a nice find! Congratulations.

Always wondered about two pictures of Egyptian soldiers I've seen during the 1973 war. In both pictures - one soldier appears to be holding a sporting type bolt action rifle. Unfortunately in both pictires the action, and wether a scope is mounted, is blocked. Found one of the pictures so far - still looking for second one. Sorry picture is blurry - best I could do. Look at rifle held by third soldier from right side. Front sling attachment point looks right too. His two companions clearly hold AKs.

The mount also says R54 x 7,62 (7.62x54R) toward the bottom.

I also have one and will photograph the markings and post them. Anyone interested in it ??

If you look closely they made an adapter to fit the original PU scope base for a more modern scope/mount.
