I own a Kahles ZF-69 #4 reticle scope, I've owned it for over 35 years.
Can anyone tell me at what range the scope parallax is set for, or does it change with the elevation knob which is set in meters (hundreds)?

Also what caliber, grain weight, bullet and muzzle velocity was the elevation turret set for? I believe it's 308/7.62 but not sure.

I own the basic paper/sheet pamphlet for adjusting scope windage and elevation but there is no information regarding the questions above.

There has existed an "unofficial conversion table" concerning ZF-69 and ZF 84/95 but I´ll am unavailable to find it now. Below is the instructions for 84/95:


From memory: Parallax 300 meters, caliber 7,62x 51 (grain weight?/muzzle velocity?)

Edit: I have spoken with a friend about the missing pieces, he said that the ZF-69 was intended for the use with the FN SS 77 - cartridge (adopted 1957):

Velocity: 2808 ft/sec (856 m/s)
Weight: 143,5 grains (9,3 g)

NB! Tube diameter is 26mm (if you haven´t noticed) Sitting here with a scope with severe dents due to mismatched rings.....the owner wasn´t aware that 26 mm was a norm on european scopes back when.
