Summarize your bug The level 2 Kar98K zoom is extremely low res. When zoomed in you can see that the picture inside the scope area gets blurred out and seems like the resolution is way lower than what you are actually playing in. I play in 1080p and mix of low-high settings but I saw this on some streams too with guys maxing out the game on Nvidia cards so doesn't seem to be AMD specific. I can't take a screenshot because I will probably never get the gun again due to the rarity of scoped weapons in general but tested it on the practice range and the Kar98k with the same scope does not have the same issue. Edit found one and attached screenshot.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Equip a kar98k ( level 2 ) and zoom in with the scope. Also it having the same zoom level as 1-5 iron sights might be worth looking at...
What happens when the bug occurs? Blurry scope?
What should be happening instead? Clear image?

Edit: duplicate edits, cleaned them out.
Tested on level 2 Gewehr 43, same issue as it has the "2x Standard scope", also tested DX12, no change.

Noticed this same thing when looking at JackFrags videos but not when WTFMoses was playing so some setting may affect it but again it's not an issue regardless of settings in vanilla mode when testing in practice range.

I found that turning my post processing up from low to medium made the scope clear again for me. Hopefully they fix it soon so I can go back to low.

There is a Rare and Epic version.

Kar98k – The familiar but trusty bolt-action rifle, a Rare gets a quicker deploy speed, improved ADS, and a close-range sight. An Epic rewards with a bipod, quick cycle, and a mid-range scope.

This is the "rare" version which has the "2x Standard scope" from the vanilla game, as the problem is with the sight itself on at least 2 weapons and only in Firestorm I didn't think it mattered what rarity the weapons were.
And in my edit I added the Gewehr 43, has the same issue with the same scope.

Yes i have same problem with some of the scopes, but not all which is strange.

The "aperture scopes" are intentionally blurry. it's game design - that's how it is in the base game too.

@Adman_Tor I'd accept it if that was the case but it's not, not even close.
Added one more screenshot ( vanillaBF.jpg ) in my original post so you can see the difference, it's with the exact same settings from the base game, Kar98K with the same sight.
You can clearly see that in Firestorm, anything viewed through the scope gets a siginificant decrease in pixel count and some weird blur added to it on top of that, it's extremely bad.
At long range it reminds me of pixel chasing in the original Delta Force game like 15-20 years ago, you can barely see any shapes which you can see clearly when not scoping, it's that bad.

Yes this is the exact same problem they I have. And its only in Firestorm as you say.

Thanks a lot @FeebleTurnip , I tried for 30 min to identify in regular conquest what setting was causing my blurry kar98 view in FS, and did not found out anything... I understand that its totally linked to firestorm thanks for the workaround.
(ps 1080 ti user playing low for max fps)
