scope mounts for this rifle.
« on: September 04, 2009, 09:15:13 PM »
http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=139142187

i just picked this exact rifle up at a pawn shop for $200. action is smooth, barrel is super clean, no rust, no pitting, everything looks to have very very little use to be honest, i took it apart to clean it and it was spotless. its in better shape then the rifle in the link.

i need to get scope mounts for it. and have no idea where to start. the front base matches perfectly with a remington model 700 base. but the rear has a smaller hole distance then a remington. also the action has a wierd round shape to it in the rear...so getting a flush mount surface is gonna be tough.

i called OE today to see what they had but they dont sell bases seprately so i can mix and match UNLESS i buy two sets of bases which is far to expensive. also called butch's gun shop in green lake and they had no idea.

any ideas?

Looks to be a sporterized Mauser?  I don't know, I think I'd take it to a gunsmith. Where do you live?

i live in west seattle.

and yea it is. thats what golden state arms is all about. i baught a enfield that was sporterized by them a couple years ago. it was such a sweet rifle, everything was nice and crisp. so when i seen this today in the pawn shop i just had to have it...after having such great luck with the previous golden state arms rifle i owned. so i transfered payement from the savage to this and took it home.

so now the quest of finding scope mounts begins. at least i only need a rear mount at least.

but i made sure to leave $20 on the savage so he cant sell it. so ill just take my time paying it off. and have it for next year  :chuckle:

I shoot a sporterized Enfield that looks very similar to that one.  When I clean it tomorrow, I'll take the scope off to see what scope mount is on it.

Well, I took the scope mounts off, but the only marking on it was the number 41.  It's been a bunch of years since I put them on, but I'm pretty sure the bases are Weaver.  Hope this helps some.

Take it to a local gunsmith.  They usually have some old Weaver mounts sitting loose in a drawer, and can match one up by the hole spacing.  Otherwise, you can also have it re drilled and tapped to a one piece base if you want.  I think you can buy front and  back bases separately, you might try Brownells or Midway.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
