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

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
