WILDCAT TWENTY TWO - TWO FORTY THREE
ENBLOC
Member Posts: 327 ✭✭
I've acquired a turkish mauser in unknown chamber. I did chamber cast and it's the two forty three necked down to twenty two. No other changes to the two forty three except just necking down. Rcvr. is drilled and tapped two holes forward, one aft. I've read somewhere these turk '98 actions were large ring but are designed to take small ring barrels. Barrel on this Rifle is the stepped Mauser, but in twenty two caliber. I've just acquired a used Forester die set for this Wildcat. Wonder if anyone could suggest what scope base/rings & optics to mount on this Sporter. Also any handload recipes would be appreciated too...

If worse comes to worse. Brownells sells blank mounts, that can be drilled to match the holes.
It was like 40 years ago - could have also been or fit a redfield one piece 3 hole mount.

you could call ask about the spacing. Are you sure yours are 7/8 on the front not .860
If nothing else works out here is an un-drilled one that might work https://www.brownells.com/optics-mounting/rings-mounts-amp-bases/rifle-bases/mauser-98-large-ring-3-hole-scope-bases-prod87825.aspx?avs|Make_3=Mauser

Holes are drilled and tapped 6-48. Front two holes in rcvr. ring are 7/8 inch o.c. 1st forward hole to rear single hole is 5-1/8 o.c. and 2nd forward hole to rear single hole is 4-1/4 inch o.c. What one piece base should I be looking for?
