Would the front sight hood for what be compatible with a G98/40, which by the way, is not a Mauser. The standard K98 sight hood will fit on a G98/40 rifle, but it will not sit well and would not be correct. The 98/40 used a proprietary sight hood that no other rifle in the world used. They are exceptionally rare today.
Assuming you mean a Mauser 24/47, use the sight as you would any open rifle sight. The slider on the rear sight adjusts for range- marked in meters.
Assuming that the question should read "what sniper rifle did the Germans use in world war 2" the answer is as follows: Most commonly the K98 Mauser was used, with an optical sight. Secondly the G41 semi-automatic rifle was used, designed by Walther. Also fitted with an optical sight.
It would help if you stated what attachments you are looking for. If you want a laser sight then I would check Pyramyd Air on the web. See the link below
If the fr-8 Mauser is chambered in 7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester), then the rifle is capable of 1,000 yard shots or one can stick the the standard sight settings.
It will slide on to a newer p99 with the weaver rail (post 2004 i believe), but the notch is in the wrong place.

No. The hooded front sight post was adopted in 1939.
The numbers on the rear sight of a Mauser vz. 24 typically indicate the range settings in meters for the rifle. These settings allow the shooter to adjust the sight for different distances, ensuring more accurate aiming. The markings usually start at a lower range and go up to a higher range, often reflecting common engagement distances for military use.
The only listing for a Walther TPS in my references is for their Top Point Sight, which is not a firearm. Please recheck your question, repost if needed. You can contact me through my message board here at Answers.com
I have seen guys asking as much as $600 dollars. But that was a for a version with a peep-sight for snipers. Otherwise 250-400 probably, depending on condition.
the best way, and I never have a problem using this method. get a good pair of Expandable snap ring pliers,then insert tips into sight hood about half way down the inside of hood , then squize-- the hood will open up , and slide it on until its in the groves of the sight , VERY EASY. hope this helps you.
