does anyone use one on their mauser? and what kind. I found this (the first mauser mount listed over the receiver and bolt). Pretty much what I wanted, but I wanted to know if anyone else has this or something like it and it's effectiveness. www.gunaccessories.com/MilitaryScopeMounts/Mauser/index.asp thanks again. |

I have (2) M98 German stamped large ring..... 1 has a Leupold (speling?) 1 piece base and rings (Redfield also make similar base), and the 2nd rifle has the std Weaver #45 and #46 bases I think it is, then the rings mounted to them. If you do the 2 piece, make sure the fella doing the holes in the action places them the same as the 1 piece base, in case you decide to do the 1 piece later... |

I went through this awhile back. Grab a cold one and read this link: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=64&t=64520 I'm going to go with the Kronos scope from Tantal and the Bosnian mounts/rings from PA Distributing. |

I have several that I have done up real nicely as hunting rifles. I always use 1 piece mounts. No real reason for the 1 piece, I just like them better. I do not like the claw mout as pictured. Cutting into the wood IMO is worse than having the holes in the receiver. |

Scout it. Replace the rear sight with a 'scout mount' and use a pistol scope. It's actually pretty nice. Don't drill and tap the reciever. In fact, don't alter the gun, PERIOD. If you want to have one that's drilled and tapped, there are plenty of 'bubba-ized' Mausers, '03's, and Enfields out there for nothing. I feel like you are destroying a piece of history every time someone does this. Look at the 1903 market to see what that does. Everyone modified one because they were cheap, and now you pay big $$ to find an unmodified one. It's only going to get worse for the 03's when CMP runs out. |

I bought the Iron Elite mount a bit over a year ago, and 500 rounds later, not problems whatsoever. I love it. It is rock solid. What you see just below the rear scope ring is a plastic pen holding up the rifle. The scope is a Bushnell "Trophy" Scope 3-9x40. (really good scope for about $90.) I had to use high scope rings - make sure you specify high rings if you plan on using a similar sized scope, or the front bell will not fit. I like this set-up because there is absolutely no destroying the rifle. You simply remove the rear sight assembly and install this into the same mount.   |
I got to fondle my friend's scoped M48 with the Iron Elite mount, and I'm not sure what keeps it from tipping forward like the iron sight apparatus would, but it doesn't. Leisure Shoot, how exactly does that work? I do remember that it seemed rock solid and didn't budge, and my buddy shoots his M48 at 600 yards at Benchrest in St. Louis all the time, so I know he hasn't had problems retaining a zero. |
 It works by pulling down at the front, just behind the hinge with a screw into the sight mount on the rifle (no hole gets drilled) and then pushing down a little further back, with a brass set screw on the front of the receiver (just below the front scope ring). |
