Mauser 98 Side Scope Mount

olhntr
I have a 98 Mauser drilled and tapped for a side mount and I need help trying to determine the brand of mount. The receiver has 4 tapped holes and 1 untapped for a pin. 3 holes are 10-32 in the standard position in a straight line .750" from front to center and .625" from center to rear. The forth tapped hole 8-36 is in the front ring 1.00" ahead of the front 10-32 tapped hole. The untapped hole for a pin is just ahead and above the rear tapped hole. Any help would be appreciated. olhntr

    IT 'SOUNDS LIKE' A GRIFFIN & HOWE MOUNT, A WEAVER SIDE MOUNT CAN BE MADE TO FIT.

    I have a 1903 NRA Springfield Sporter that had a G & H sidemount attached about 70 years ago. There are equidistant 3 screw holes and two pins so I suppose the screw and pin arrangement for any of these set ups can vary. Another popular maker of side mounts was Paul Jaeger of Jenkintown, PA.

    The Weaver or Williams sidemount is a good suggestion, if it doesn't fit straight off it can probably be made to fit rather readily.

    Thanks, I'll probably get a G & H sidemount base and have it drilled to match the tapped holes in my receiver. Then I'll pick up a used top and rings. Thanks for the help. olhntr

    Here is the G & H website showing the side scope mount & rings. You may be able to find them on line used also.
