Mauser Es340B scope/mount suggestion?

[mark k]

Has anyone scoped their B series Mauser rimfire? My rifle shows promising accuracy, but my eyes are becoming a limitation to iron sight use. Anyone found a good combo with an unmodified bolt handle?

Myself I have the same issue with a ES350B 22 Mauser.

The only option, (because like myself you wish not to modify any gun metal is to use high rings) one can buy some that will clear the bolt in the upper most position with a one inch diameter scope body.

Brutus what brand of mount would that be ?
Mark there is another thread (high scope rings for 11mm cz dovetail ?) there are some links in there that might be use full.
as you may have figured out most high and extra high are not high enough. the bell diameters of the scopes will also cause you grief.
there are some cheep Chinese aluminium ones that work , but I have not found steel.. Burris signature say they are high enough , but I have never seen them in Canada and the price is stupid, if you have to order them .

I think I got by with weaver high rings last time.
One day it took a spill and the scope/rings were never the same.
Plan on getting new ones when I get around to mounting the scope.

I've tried both Leopold Rifleman see through ring mounts and BKL riser blocks.
Both work decently. PM me if interested, think I still have them...
