I would love to see theBSA pump put together I bet it looks ace! They certainly went to town with the amount of rear sights they utilised, BSA no 8, express rifle sights, mounted scope, sights for any occasion, it looks as though the rear mount on the BSA pump scope is just above the ejector port, to give the correct eye relief.FredB wrote:I have four of these early German scopes. One has claw mounts. I have bases, but they are not quite correct for the scope. I could manufacture bases if I had a suitable rifle to put it on.
The second is on my BSA 22 pump action. Thsi is one of a special edition produced in the 1930s. Jim Hallam had one in its original case, but I don't know if he still has it. These little 22s were fitted with every imaginable sight: a scope with windage adjustment in the mounts, which are claw mounts and so it is instantly removeable, A BSA number 8 folding aperture sight and a set of British folding leaf big game sights, which are totally useless.
The third scope is contained in a one piece mount, again with windage adjustment built in, which fits the rib on my Buechel Meister schuetzen rifle. Scopes were not used in German schuetzen competitions and so I assume that it was originally made for a hunting derivative of the Schuetzen pattern rifles.
The fourth scope is on a German boar rifle in 8.15 x 46R. It is also fitted in windage adjustable mounts.
You say the third scope is contained in a one piece mount, is the mount marked AKah?
