Recknagel Eramatic G9-Plus on Rigby BGR question

[Wildwillalaska]

Any of you fine gents have much experience with the Recknagel mounts for the double bridge M98 used by Rigby or Mauser themselves?

Will be mounting a scope shortly on a 416 Rigby and the rifle came with the mounts. I can’t find instructions online anywhere, including Recknagel. My main question relates to the rear ring/mount with the G9-Plus locking mechanism. The ring is somewhat loose to the mount and some play, so thinking the screw affixing the bottom half of the ring to the mount is loose, but cannot say for certain it’s not intended to be. Can’t imagine it’s designed that way, but assumptions breed error, so figured smart to ask if anyone with actual experience with these knows or has a screen shot of the instructions.

Any input/assistance is greatly appreciated.

You might post this in “gunsmithing” if you haven’t had any luck in the open forum.

Hi

I am using Recknagel mounts on nearly every gun.

The G9 Plus locking mechanism is always extremely tight, there is no loose part.

That's a pdf file from their website. It's for the H7, but maybe it helps...

Thank you for responding. I did search over their website (saw the above pdf) and general internet searches well before posting here. Really posted because I couldn’t find direction anywhere, and the literature I did find on differing models only seemed to highlight how particular they can be…
