Typical european mount. They always shot with their heads up, not with the check welded to the stock in the NA style. Lovely rifle there!

I think the height may be because of the high bolt lift.

or to use the safety.

No, the way europens shoot scopes is to hold their heads upright, as I said. Maybe that mauser saftey lead them to it but that is how they are taught to shoot. Also, look at the drop of the stock. No way you can weld your cheek to that stock.

Beautifull rifle. Is it for sale? Would it ever look nice with a set of claw mounts.

haha when have you ever known a gun nut to not have one for sale.

 

[hithere]

as one can see- the scope pops off pretty easy
neat set up

That is one of the most beautiful rifles I have seen in a long time!

BTW, The scope was made by Hensoldt Wetzlar and is probably worth more to a collector than what you paid for the entire rig.

I like the Euro look of it,if it's a large ring 98 you can load it up and duplicate anything the 06 can do. Good score............

how does one tell if it's large ring??

The step in the left receiver wall just behind the receiver ring(can be seen in the 5th picture)

The gas flange on the shroud.
