Dear Friends,

1. I recently bought a .30-06 bolt action rifle made by E. J. Churchill, gun makers from London England. It is built on the Military Mauser 98 action. It takes seven rounds in the magazine. Year of make is 1941 and it was most probably made for the British army in the world war II. The rifle is drilled and tapped for a scope mounting. However, I cant seem to find the right mounts even on the web. I have tried sending the measurements to Leuopold but they just asked me to buy the standard mounts for a Military Mauser 98 Action. I took the following measurements with the help of Vernier Callipers:

Distance between holes drilled for scope base (measurements are Centre-to-Centre)

Front Receiver:
0.8907 inches or 2.2625 centimeters or 22.625 millimeters

Rear Receiver:
0.50295 inches or 1.2775 centimeters or 12.775 millimeters

Difference in height of front and rear receiver is 1.23 millimeters (the Rear being lower than the front).


Can you suggest a two piece scope base for the following measurements?

I'd send the same info to Brownell's tech department. If anyone would have bases to fit they might. Worst case would be buy a set of undrilled gunsmith bases and have them drilled to fit. Brownell's sells those also. Here is the link.

Thanks a lot Sir, I have just forwarded the request at the link you posted.
