Anyone know what scope this is and if they're available nowadays?
It looks like a ZF-4. They're available if you have the cash! There are also repro's available. Don't forget you'll need a mount for it too, which adds to the cost.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
I seem to remember the official report on trials with the scoped Stg44 was that it was a waste of time.
At the effective range of the 7.92 kurtz in semi auto mode it just wasnt worth the cost and effort.
In Auto mode it just wasnt possible to sight with the scope.
That photo was from trials/training if I remember correctly? Perhaps even a still from a piece of film?

Yeah I was just thinking of using this for airsoft, so recoil isn't really a problem 
.
Now, having looked at Zf-4 scopes (around the £500 mark), I'm thinking if a similar effect could be achieved with a 20mm/30mm scope and some normal mounts...
It's a lot of money to spend on what amounts to a fantasy piece?
£200 for the gun and perhaps 5 times that for the sight?

mmm i think some kind of cheapsoft 20mm/30mm scope would do just as well for airsoft anyway
Don`t bother, buy the gun ditch the idea of a scope otherwise you will end up looking like a Blatfest sniper, remember Less is More
the only scope idea id consider for a `44 would be a IR scope and backpack as the vampir system

I saw pictures of that vampir scope and backpack: epic!
If we're dicking around with experimental Stg-44 prototypes, i'd rather go for a krummlauf:
Not sure how the rules on blind firing would cope with it though. 
I think the problem would be more that you have to angle the gun around the corner iirc. Hop up would make the bbs fly massively left or right

Yeah I use my Tanaka K98 with IRON sights - I always hear sounds in English/Amelish "It's a sniper !"
I sometimes shout back in my bad Germish " Feck Hoff - I'm using iron sights"

been there done that already with my tanaka k98 krummlauf
converted from a "standard" tanaka k98 for FREE by a royal mail delivery driver. send you stg44 to yourself via registered post and they will bend it for you

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well

I'd hate to think of what the hop up would be like...
