K98's were fitted with a Hensoldt ZF4 or ZF6 if you want a WW2 purist type of rifle. Hensoldt are part of Zeiss. Zeiss market their military scopes and binoculars under the hensoldt name. You can pick these up second hand for around 500 US Dollars.
If you are fitting a scope for shooting purposes, one with variable magnification is a good choice but you won't need a higher power than 10. Non variable a 6 power is more than adequate for the K98. Leupold have a wonderful range of tried and tested scopes in various price ranges. If you don't mind spending more than a thousand dollars on a scope Schmidt and Bender make magnificent scopes, some of which you will find attached to US Military sniper rifles.
There is a lot of choice with a lot of difference in price. Too cheap a scope will not be able to handle the recoil of the K98 and you will find yourself constantly adjusting it.
