ChrisF Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hi Guys , Need info on the actual rail thats bolted on the top of the German G22 AWM 300WM rifle , it looks like a std zero cant AI Pitcanny rail , BUT is IT , or is it a special 20 moa canted rail ? The reason I ask is the Hensoldt scope they run , looks like it has a limited amount of E on the knob , so it would appear the mating of the Hensoldt Zf 3-12x56 SSG-P to the AWM rifle is rather critical , so the 11.2 mil knob has a full 11.2 of adjustment / Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeap , that basically aligns with what the manual says , it does not mention a actual number of moa cant , BUT does say that the scope needs to be mounted on a forward canted rail . the scope appears to have very limited elevation adjustment , of around 11 mils single turn knob , when zeroed on the correct canted rail & rifle etc , the windage knob has only 2 mils L & R . The scope has a neat internal indictor , that once set , shows the amount of Elevation you have dailled IN . marker moves from 0-11 mils on a scla einside the scope , so its always in veiw while looking thru the scope , the scope is the Hensoldt ZF 3-12x56 SSG-P scope . Thanks for the INFO , just one Question , can I order a AWM with that 20 moa rail fitted , as the std pitcanny rail on the AWs are zero cant ?

ChrisF Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Just do a serch for either G22 AI rifle or Hensoldt 3-12x56 SSG-P . It seems to be put together with a veiw of using a front mounted NV unit called the NSV80 ( again made by Zeiss ) in front of the day 3-12 Heny . The 1st SSG scopes only had 7 mils of Up & no parallex , the SSG-P model has 11 mils of up and 2 mils L&R . Guys that have mounted the SSG-P on the std flat AI pitcanny rail on AWs have only gotten about 7mils of up & para . So in short the SSG-P has limited amount of E & W , compared with current Tac scopes etc . Later Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Here's some pics of the G22 AI AWM-F 300WM sniper rifle , also see pics of the 1st & 2nd hensoldts used on them , the SSG & SSG-P , the one with 4 knobs is the SSG-P , all knobs are on the RH side of the scope , mounting rail incorparated into the body , clamping lever is on the LH side of scope body , uses 2x AA batteries . On one of the pics side on you can see the NV rail & the detached NV optic , NSV80 laying on the table by the G22 rifle . Also see a couple of pics showing the Elevation indicator .
