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

AH Community,

Looking to see if any of you have any detachable scope mounts for M98, before I bite the bullet via retailers/distributors out there.

Thanks!

If you end up having to go the retail route, the Talley rear base will not let you operate the bolt unless you grind/mill the right rear corner off.

This is sound wisdom - thank you!

I use quick detach Warne rings with a standard base/rail for my Czech 98 Mauser. The base is not detachable but low enough for iron sights to be unobstructed when scope is removed. I found a now discontinued Weaver one-piece base that mounts Warne low rings very low. Consequently, acquisition of either 30mm 1-4x scope or iron sights is instantaneous. Initially I mounted the scope on a semi-rail from SARRCO but this Weaver base is slightly lower. My standard action 404J and scope holds zero on remounting and in spite of sharp recoil.

Excellent intel, thank you sir. Is this your 404?

Same approach I took with my 416 Taylor built on an Argentine 98 Mauser.. Warne Maxima (steel) bases, topped with Warne Maxima QD rings..

I can easily see over the bases and use the irons when the scope is removed.. and the Warne bases and rings are rock solid.. they've been a good combo for me..

Warne qd mounts on my m98 7x57... the bases I dont even notice when scope off...use the iron sights mostly anyway

Yes, that's it. I originally outfitted it with an old battered 3x Weaver I retired from forty years service on my derr/elk/moose/plains game Speingfield 03A3. Not enough scope relief. Thought I'd give this bargain basement Bushnell a try. Wasn't sure about thicker 30mm scope but it mounted very low on a now obscure Weaver 1-piece base. I had to slightly modify the square Warne locking braces to fit snuggly in the round slots it the Weaver base. This scope locks EXACTLY and FIRMLY in the SAME place every time it is reattached. Retaining zero is nonnegotiable.

Talley QD bases were going to be my own choice, but I don’t want to grind off the clip hump on the rear of the action if I don’t absolutely have to.
