Scope Mounts - Quick Detach System (M98 and/or Rigby .375H&H), Wanted - TY!

[degoins]

The last time I used Talley bases on a model 98 it was a custom Dumoulin Belgian 98 action. These bases from Talley cleared the bolt perfectly. It may be worth a phone call to Talley to ask under what circumstances they will not fit properly. (likely the answer is going to be on older guns that a gunsmith arbitrarily drilled and tapped the rear bridge, maybe yes/no)

Luckily, they work perfectly on my Brevex. They will not work on the new M98 or Rigby.

You don't need to remove the hump, that would be a really bad idea on a nice action. The Talley base needs the rear milled off slightly where the bolt cams over. It's a quick job for a guy with a mill, who ever you have drill and tap can complete this for you.

@Raskolnikov743 if this is going on a Rigby and you don't mind spending the money, I would contact Joe Smithson for his mounts.

That's a very high scope mount = more felt recoil and slower acquisition.
