New guy with scope question
Hey there guys and gals, new to this forum and just picked up my first K98, it is a "bnz 4" from a local dealer who got ths from Century...I in no way am going to drill the reciever and was thinking of mounting a scope and wondered if anyone knew of a good no gunsmithing mount for the reciever area?? Its a long shot but if I can't find one I have no problem leaving it as issued....oh and getting cosmo off wood?? Any tips?
Welcome to the forums BsChoy
I'm sure someone knows that visits here and will supply you with an answer as to how to add a scope without making some unreversable change on the weapon. .
Like you , I like my milsurps as close to original as possible. However, once upon a time I bought a 1938 short Turk form AIM that came with rings and was sporterized... for $79.95. But..this was already a bubba deal from whoever imported it originally. There was some hubbub about the C&R status. But... nothing on the rifle wasn't original...... the stock was just "modified" , so it was still C&R. But.... an original Turk 1938 of the intermediate length would be worth more than the $79 I paid for this thing. However, it is still not without its merits.
Stay tuned. Someone will know how to advise you.

Scope Mount
Go to Brownell's web site look at the scope mounts for Mauser's. They have one that can be mounted with out drilling the receiver but you do have to inlet the stock to make it fit. You may also have to shim the mount in order to not run out of adjustment on your scope which is not uncommon. If you have any questions on this let me know. Hope this helps you out. Kurt

Mauser mounts
Check this out. I've got one for my Turkish mauser and it works really good. You may want to purchase another stock for yours because it requires some material removal on your stock. That is why I have two stocks, one for show and one for go.

Try this place. No modifications needed to your rifle need be made. I am thinking about trying one. I have heard alot of good things about them.

Non-Gunsmithing Mauser Mount
I have the ATI mount, it works well, but I had to use small amounts of epoxy to keep the barrel clamp from walking:

It shoots quite nicely, though...

Le Grande Scope
Yeah, it's pretty big, and heavy too. It probably weighs 3.5 pounds. I like these ATN scopes because they seem to be able to absorb a lot of abuse and retain their adjustments.
One must take care to choose rings and mounts that will take the stress, however. The rings that come with the ATN scopes are not up to snuff. I chose Millett's Angle-Loc rings, and I have no torsion problems from recoil.
I am absolutely a big fan of bullet drop compensators, and this scope came with a .308 ballistic cam for a 2520 fps velocity. Handloading for a particular load combination is simplified, and I no longer have to worry about writing down or memorizing vertical click counts. The BDC cam is calibrated to 500 yards. I wish ATN made a 1000-yard cam for this model line of scope, though.
The best testimonial I can proffer for this scope is that it still functions well even after I accidentally dropped a 19-inch television on it.
