Mauser Scout Mount.

Hey all.
I am looking to put a scout scope on a mauser I own. I have looked at a lot of models, but I dont really want to modify my rifle permenantly. But, of course, I want it to hold zero without fail. Anyone have any experience with this type of mount? I dont mind spending 100.00 on a good mount, but dont want to spend slightly less for much less quality. All advice is appreciated.

I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.

I have one of the XS Sights scout scope bases on a Mauser for over ten years. It has always held zero, but it is also glued on. Here's a link....

I have used several of their products and they have been excellent.

I have an S&K scout mount on a Mosin and really like it.

I have S&K's on L/E #4 and #5, and years ago had a B-Square on a Swede with an EER scope. All the mounts are excellent, no drill and tap.

You should check out "Dutchman`s" scout scope mounts for military rifles. Nothing is destroyed on the rear sight to install his mount.Robert

S&K, I have one on my M48, and M39 Finn. good people to deal with, and good mounts.

I have used both a mount made by Dutchman and one by S&K. The mount The Dutchman makes is great, holds zero, and mounts the scope as low as possible without removing the handguards. The mount by S&K is also solid but mounts the scope much higher than it needs to be.
The S&K mount I put on my K-31 I had Jim in Phx mill it so the scope is lower than originally but is still higher than I would like but it can't be milleed further.

I am rather disappointed in the amount of slop in the S&K, I believe you would be miles ahead if Dutch would agree to make you one.

I would consider the "slop" a result in manufacturing tolerances. I've scout scoped a number of mausers and one had to be shimmed, 2 others fit tightly.
