I got this with my BSA 303 and am wondering if anybody could tell me anything about it. The scope is a Weaver K3, but its the mount that is more intriguing. It says Griffin & Howe INC New York pat.# 1,856,549 May 3 1932

I remember reading about these Griffin & Howe mounts in Jack O'Connor's "The Hunting Rifle" or "The Rifle Book". I'll see if I still have it.

Be sure to put it in the drawer with the valuable junk. G&H side mounts are hard to find, and highly coveted by some collectors! :cool:

You would need the base as well to be able to use it, but it is certainly worth more than a set of Leupolds.

Oh so you were being a smart ass about it being "junk" :D LOL The base is there as it was once attached to my .303 with 3 screws and a ton of jb weld. NO I didnt mount it that way, that how i bought it.
