dcs12345 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I want to mount a scope on my turk, but don't want to remove the hump. What bases will meet my needs? One piece or two pieces, doen't matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOUTHPAW Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Redfield one piece for 98 worked for me just have to drill and tap three holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold shot Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I use weaver 2pc bases. The front base is #46 and the rear base is #45 for large ring actions. For small ring actions I use weaver #46 for the front and # 55 for the rear. I also have a 1pc from redfield. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Leupolds mauser 98 bases work without removing the hump. The mauser FN bases don't. They do have an odd hole spacing, but if you didn't drill yet that's no problem. -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RifleMan Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hey Don- Will those Leupold bases for the 98 work for the intermediate sized actions, too? I'm considering drilling and tapping for bases on my Yugos, just in case I want a normally-mounted scope later on (they're going to be scout mounted first). I had kinda figured that if I ever want to mount a regular scope, I'd have to go grinding off the charging hump, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Never tried it, but it should work fine. I'll pull and set of bases and check when I have a minute. -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaver77 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 the redfeild one piece for the 98 works fine on the turks i have also used both leupold and burris two piece bases on the 24/47 and 48's i had to drill and tap the front base holes first and then pull the roll pin in the front of my jig and slide the jig forward till the bolt bushing hit the rear of the receiver ring then lock it back down and drill and tap rear holes this work fine although it takes a little longer if your jig has the roll pin in front be sure and drill and tap the front base hole first the roll pin keeps you from drilling and tapping into the bolt lug raceway hope this helps ps i did mill the stripper humps off the 24/47's and 48's before i used the fn two piece bases a buddy of mine uses the two piece bases for the 98 and does not mill the stripper hump off it takes him a little longer to do the rear base but he basicly does it the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 There used to be Weaver #45 military rear mounts for Mausers, but one can just relieve the rear of the rear base with a grinder or die grinder until it fits over he hump.

Crowkiller Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 There used to be Weaver #45 military rear mounts for Mausers, but one can just relieve the rear of the rear base with a grinder or die grinder until it fits over he hump. This is exactly what I do. I also generally glass bed the bases to the action. It may not do anything but make me feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
