I picked up a 250-3000 1899 takedown. Has Stith mounts and a Weaver 300 scope.
I want to move this over to a 1899B 303.
I have looked online for directions to mount these and don't see any published. Anyone here have the procedure to remove scope and mounts?

thanks

  Strobel's book on scopes and mounts has a section on the Stith, "Master Mount". There is a sketch/diagram showing the mount on a bolt action rifle.
  
  It's extremely complicated mount with windage and elevation adjustments in the mount itself. Only one ring actually holds the scope. There is a large threaded screw in the rear of the front mount underneath the scope tube. This has to be unscrewed so that the scope can be pulled to the rear freeing it from the forward mount. Once the scope is out of the way the screws securing the mounts to the receiver can be accesses.
