Mounting a scope to this Mauser

I inherited this nicely sporterized Mauser that is chambered in .308. I believe it was originally (when sporterized) set up for irons, but I would like to mount a scope using the holes from the existing mount on the back of the barrel and the other by the reciever as shown. Where the flathead screws are now.

 

I imagine I will need to mount a section of rail between the two points. Suggestions? The two mounts on there are about 8" apart.

 

Edit: Before anyone thinks I am crazy, I plan on removing the existing bases.

The base on the barrel is for a Unertl type scope there should be one more further up the barrel, put a unert

, litschert, or fecker scope on there and call it good.

While I recognize the trend to put a rail on everything, including the family poodle, I think it would just look wrong on a Mauser.

 

I think Usnmars is setting you on the right track.

I actually have a Unertl type scope. It was probably mounted on the rifle at some point. I know nothing about it other than it is a 2' long scope. I should dig it out.

 

I would like to use a modern adjustable scope. The Mauser is heavily sporterized and I think can be a good "modern" shooter.

      Vinyl siding guy in Paramus area

      By Barms · Posted

      I took down a deck that was attached to the house with a ledger board.  That area now needs to be re-sided.   Its a tough predicament because its such a small job, its only like 24 inches high by about 12 feet wide.  After 3 phone calls last fall i actualy got the guy who built the house to come by, he said "sure, i can do it when i get some down time".   I havent heard from him since. i get it.  its a small job.  I'm a pretty handy guy and out of desperation i could probably watch youtube videos and figure out how to patch this by myself but i think id get lost on trying to match the color and i only need a small amount of material i'd have no idea where to buy a small amount.  So i'm gonna try here if anybody knows a vinyl siding company who wouldnt mind doing what i suppose would be a 30 minute job.  I am fully aware that i would need to have his fee make it worth while for the project even though its such a small patch job.

      WTB: looking for a lever gun

      By Grima Squeakersen · Posted

      I bought the stainless Rossi lever carbine in .357 a few years ago, to match a bush rifle caliber to my revolvers. I'm pretty sure I paid under $400 at the time. Shoots sweet, reliable, more than accurate enough. When I was shopping for it I kept running into comments on gun forums (not this one, iirc) criticiziing the action compared to the Henrys, but I've never shot a Henry lever gun, and I guess I'm too dumb to notice any issues.

      Radios...?

      Interesting discussion. I have plenty of large, tall trees that I could affix antennae elements to . But then I'd be at the mercy of wind and lightning. Of course, a falling tree could easily take out an adjacent tower as well :-) My biggest mental obstacle with installing a tower is how to get all the pieces up the slope to the install point. A new tower is no doubt a pretty big expense, but I see them on FB Marketplace regularly for fairly cheap, provided the buyer takes the thing down.
