Hi all,
I picked up the scope in the picture but need a set of double claw bases for it. Where would I be able to get a reasonably priced set of mounts please.

Re: Double claw scope mount bases
Nick, the chances of finding a matching pair of bases, regardless of price are incredibly slim. You might find something close however they need to be fitted very precisely, plus the front claw bases to match a 'scope of this age may well have been dovetailed into the receiver ring for fine adjustment.
Best thing is get a piece of suitable steel and start filing, literally! I am in the process of making a pair however I am roughing the material out with a mill. The front is easy enough, the rear not so.
Back to your question, eBay DE and .com

Re: Double claw scope mount bases
As Ovenpaa has already indicated the chances of picking up a pair of the correct matching bases is slim because there are/were several manufacturers of such bases and all varied quite a bit.
Also the cost is likely to be considerable but if you are serious about getting suitable bases have a word with Irwin who is Alan Rhone's gunsmith and a very knowledgeable and helpful chap.

Yes, good point about Irwin, he would be a good place to start and may even have some base blanks.

Thanks guys. May well keep her as a momento. Everything works beautifully. And the clarity is amazing for its age.
