    Greetings @Lucky and all,
    The turret on top adjusts for elevation and windage is adjusted in the rear base. The scope will be reticle moving so the cross hairs could be above or below the centre of the view once zeroed. Assuming the scope is original it may have been zeroed for the then standard load of 150 grain projectile at 2,700 fps so matching that could be a good start and you may find the rifle is still zeroed. It is also likely to be a metric tube size, 26mm or other.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    I have a Simson Mauser 98 in 9.3X62 with octagon to round barrel and full length rib. Made before 1912, when the proof mark laws changed.
