Early Redfield scope mounts for Remington 30S

Supersporter40

Im looking for the style where the front ring was an 1 1/8" long and back ring about 15/32" long. Front ring had a large dovetail, back had the windage screws on an angle.

Hoping for 26.5mm or 27mm rings.

Needle in a haystack.And some hens teeth too..... [:D]

Thanks!

Nope, that's a European claw mount

This is the pre-WWII 'Senior" mount - no base numbers.

Babun,
That is a real Gem! As mentioned tho, Suhler German claws those be.

Here is the misc parts I have to show basically what I'm after.
My rings are only 7/8" tho. I'd like 26.5mm rings, or info if there were split rings available in that time.

Still looking.... still hoping.

If someone has some pictures or a decent brochure picture they could post or send me it would be most appreciated.

Thanks folks!

I think you are going to have a very hard time finding any rings to fit your mounts, why not replace mounts and rings together.

Actually I did have some lined up but the seller didn't want to fill out some simple paperwork thanks to Obama.

The thought of modern mounts on a vintage firearm doesn't seem right. Even if I have pics to go by I can create a model to duplicate on a cnc mill.

I applaud your idea of vintage mounts on that gun.[8D]
I like that "look" also. I know this ain't exactly what you want , but maybe a second place item that could be useful??

Thanks for that Babun!
I will be using a 5X Emil Busch so that will require a different set up.
Pretty bound determined on the Redfield design.
Appreciate the heads up!
