Hello everyone

FASTEST and EASIEST way to mount a scope on your rifle is to go with a Long Eye Relief (LER) scope and either a B-Square or an S&K Insta-Mount. Personally, I prefer the S&K.

These mounts replace the rear-sight leaf of your rifle in just a few minutes; the rear-sight leaf just pops right out when you know how to do it. Then you mount the scope-mount, attach your rings and scope, sight-in the scope and you're ready to go blast Mister MOOOOse.

The mount is expensive, yes, but you can put it on by yourself in a few minutes. You don't need a gunsmith. And you can move the mount, scope and all, over to another rifle, any time you want to at all. If you have the rifle drilled and tapped, it will cost you just as much as the no-gunsmith mount.... and you can't shift drilled-and-tapped holes around from rifle to rifle.

The mount for the 98 fits something like 50 different models of rifle, all built on the original 1898 action; your Israeli is one of these.

I know that MilArm in Edmonton usually has these in stock and I see that TRADEX in Montreal (tan button at the top of this page) has one in stock right now at $32.50, which is just over HALF of what a drill-and-tap job would cost. Their service is fast and friendly.

Have fun with the Israeli 98!

If its DT'd on the side its for an long side rail mount.
As previously mentioned the ISRAELI rifles used top mount scopes and finding an actual ISRAELI mount is next to impossible and would involve drilling the top of the receiver. However it is likely possible that side mounts were used early on by the IDF.
Bubba does not usually go for side mounts as he likes his weaver bases although with Bubba anything is possible (pics would help). If its a CZECH receiver I doubt it was done by them or the Germans. You can pick up a good repro LSR mount from Accumounts.

Check out the "Frankin Mauser" on EE from Mean Steak. It has a side mount scope. This may be what your action is tapped for.

the holes are drilled 19mm apart there are 3 of them in total they are in a streight line where as the long side rail mounts are stagered and the stock whould have to be cut for them . the stock on mine isnt cut so it must be a different type side mount its a mystery

 

[gordonlbyrne]

checked the frankin mauser on the EE it appeares to be the right one question is what make is it and where would i find one

 

[Bolivar]

You can also try Tradex. They have several sporters with side mount scopes. They might want to part them out? Worth a question to Anthony.
