Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum although I have been reading the very informative threads already previously. This is my first post however.

I recently purchased a Mauser action rifle By Manton & Co. in .318, a caliber I have been wanting for long.

The rifle seems to be quite accurate enough for my purposes. About 2 inch groups at 100m with open sights using old Kynoch ammo. I am still waiting for brass and dies..

I want to do as little work on the rifle as possible, and hopefully I will be able to mount a scope using the existing side mount base (although it is probably not original). I would therefore appreciate any help in identifying the base and any advice on where it might be possible to find a matching ring part.

I will try to post some pictures below [image]https://www.dropbox.com/s/dd2quv9e44pu4rb/FullSizeRender%20%281%29.jpg?dl=0[/image]
