Scoped Israeli Mauser with S&K mount! Range report with pics page 2!

[Ryan500]

Check it out, what do ya think? Feels very solid, make sure you got a spare stock since you do have to remove a little. Very happy with it!

Thanks!!

It looks good.

I hope it holds zero well. I have heard good and bad about that type of mount. If it works well for you, I am considering doing the same to an Israeli.

Cheers!

I'll be surprised if it doesn't hold, very tight fitting and built thick but ya never know!!

 

[Desert_Fox]

It just clamps on around the bottom of the action for 1 point and uses the stripper guide for the other, yes?

 

[Ryan500]

Ah not sure what you mean. It is basically two clamps secured with one screw(rear) and 2 screws (front) to close the clamp on the receiver. Then a couple more screws to hold the top "rail" on and the rings are windage adjustable.

Ah, gotcha.

Let us know how it holds.

love it!

Well, took it out to the range finally, seems to hold up just fine. Easy to adjust with the built in windage adjustments on the "Rail".

Found what load I should be working with, Varget, 155gr palmas, 43-44 grains or so. Will have pics next time I post with groups and stuff. Best today was a quick 5 shot at 43.5gr Varget got about 1.5" wide and not very tall @ 100 yards. Should be pretty sweet.

Thanks for the update!

Great to hear it works!

What's on your mind lol?

Looks a little bulky,but thats fine if it holds zero.

If I bubba my Israeli I want to have the German Detachable bases welded on. Like the old European Sporters of the day.

 

[Ryan500]

Got to the range again. About 200 down the pipe with this setup and holding well. Pics.

The ammo

The setup

The results (2 best groups) at 100 yards.

Pretty happy with it more load development needed though.

 

[desporterizer]

Nice groups but the aesthetics of that mount make me want to gouge my eyes out with a bayonet.

 

[Ryan500]

Just as high as a "origional" but yeah a little ugly.

 

[jbmauser]

Looks like it shoots fairly well. Varget has worked well in several of my .308's. Might be worth a try.

Nice Israeli.

 

[Ryan500]

You bet, running varget right now, just need to find the sweet spot.

 

[Ryan500]

Well went to the range again with another 100 rounds of hand loads....


Left with this....

Came home with this...

46 Grains of Varget for the win.

Thats 100 yards with the old 4x scope that was free. What a gun for a beater...

 

[collector67]

Just out of curiousity, how does she shoot with iron sights? Looks like you'd have to have a Giraffe neck to look down that scope...
