Gents, I have a mauser with front claw mount base dovetail cut into the front receiver ring, and the typical suhler type rear base.

Can anyone tell me the height difference between them, ie. the front ring BH will need to be shorter than the rear BH ring. I have a feeling it's 1.5mm; however, you can only get rings with a full 1mm difference, which makes it virtually impossible to fit a set of rings..and I find that hard to believe, so is it 1mm or 2mm?..

anyone knows?
 
To add, rear base at 5MM BH sits flush with front receiver ring top. So is a dovetail cut 3mm deep? if so, and using a 5mm BH front foot plate, that would sit the top of the front foot exactly 2mm above the rear...

damn clawmounts! LOL

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
