scoping a mauser k98

[ASSASSIN 1]

Hi all

 

I am thinking of mounting a scope to my mauser k98 and wanted to ask you guys what you think would be the best way to go about it?

 

i dont like the scout long eye relief lok so thats out

 

i have heard that the scope mount that clamps around the barrel and extends rearwards over the action is not too stable either so thats out too.

 

i have seen the posp side rail system adapter but i would like a better option with the scope as close to over the bore as possible. i could usethe standard base and rings setup but i thought id ask first.

 

also what scope do you guys think would look ok on a k98? (i was thinking of a po 4x24 with german no4 reticule)

 

thanks

On my two mausers a 98k & '95 i used the orginal stocks with the see-thru high scopemounts from Samco they were $15 or $16 dollars. I also used the military 3 post scope from CDNN it was only $29. To me these look really good and my 98k looks awesome with this setup too. I like the 3 post scope.

 

BTW; I have to change the front base so the large ring scopemount would fit the small ring '95. The weaver bases worked perfect.

Hi Unknown poster

 

do you have any pics of your scoped mauser? sounds as though the standard rings and bases is my only real option. did you fit it yourself or get a gunsmith to do it? im planning on fitting mine myself

I don't know how to post pics. I mounted my scopes myself. I purchased the taps from brownells.

Hi

 

Thanks for the input guys , i have decided to got for a one piece weaver rail , i have the rail and i am waiting on the taps from Brownells to arive then im ready with the drill press and i aim to fit a 4x40 scope that i have lying around and maybe later fit a zoom scope, i have some low weaver rings on their way too so im hoping the bolt handle will clear the scope on the low rings (should be fine)

 

once complete i will post piks here

 

all the best
