Mauser 2000 "Krupp Special W. Germany"

I need a scope base and 1" rings for my Dad's Mauser 2000 "Krupp Special" W. Germany. We tried to mount a scope at the local big box sports store and found that the weaver base that is installed was not a level fit. I have searched the internet and cannot find an exact fit Base. I did find an auction on Gun Broker for an Old Redfield base but it is Special for Redfield no adjust Scope. I Prefer Leupold Single Base.

I'm not sure what you mean about the Redfield base. Way back in the day Leopold and Redfield had windage adjustment in the scope base because scopes either had limited or no windage adjustment. A modern scope will work just fine. Center the scope adjustment, then bore sight the scope in using the windage in the mounts. Lock the mount adjustment down and just use the scope knobs to actually sight the rifle in.
added Glad to help. Here is a lead cut and pasted
"Just thought you might like to know that the Mauser Model 2000 was made from May 1968 until 1974. However it was a not a real Mauser actually being a Hyem SR10"
Very few were imported into the U.S.. And doubtful that they were D & T'd for Weaver bases, from the factory.
Likely the bases that are on it now, were for some U.S. made rifle. And were jury rigged to fit the Mauser.
He ordered the Gun as a gift for himself when he retired.
Only new gun he ever owned. He gave me the rifle, two Model 12 Winchesters, & Winchester 63 22LR. I am blessed!
It doesn't look like the Gustav 2000 and the Mauser 2000 are the same, but you may be able to find someone who has some Heym parts.
Maybe nononsense can help you.
Edit: The 2000 was scoped, the 3000 was iron sights.
