Scope mounts for Mauser 98

[SRvet]

I’m looking for suggestions for suitable 30mm bases and rings for a friends Mauser 98 large ring actioned .375 to update the antique 1in Weaver scope to a 30mm Swarovski Z6i 1-6. I’m not sure if the Leupold QD bases and rings will work as they are listed for an FN Mauser 98
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated for both QD and fixed mounts.

What type of Mauser is it? Sporter military action? Commercial FN type action? Single or double square bridge?

Different action variants will get different recommendations…

Following with interest. I was just looking at the Leupold "Mount Finder" for bases for my Interarms Whitworth Express Rifle in 375 H&H. It suggests the QR Mauser FN (2-pc) Sku 50055. I just used a set of these on my FN Browning Safari 300 H&H.

very good options listed above. I have all and I lean towards buying the Talley QD rings most often.

They will work. I have those bases on my whitworth 458 and Remington 798 Mauser 375 as well.

As far as the first poster as asked, is it commercial Mauser action or sporterized? If it’s commercial there’s a ton of mounts out there. Built on a sporterized action there may be some variance due to hole location etc.

I would personally go with Talley

Next time i think Talley for one of Mausers of mine . Otherwise a Recknagel maybe
