Mount and Rings 1961 MCA
      #279187 - 13/03/16 12:39 AM

Does anyone use the EAW Side Mount for a 1961 MCA?
What else is out there?
Anything other than EAW with 30mm rings?
Prefer not to spend $500 for mount and rings.
Currently have a Williams mount and rings and would like to upgrade.
I would prefer a mount/rings system that would return to zero after removal, but not mandatory.
Thanks for your input .

Problem solved. I hope it's OK to post a link.
I have ordered as set of Replica Redfield Mounts from wattswalnut.com.
They fit the factory drilled 1961MCA.
I found them with the help of a member at: [blank]
They look good.
I will report after they are mounted

Sorry to be so late in reporting.
The mounts purchased from watts walnut.com are beautifully made.
They went on without a problem.
The MCA is up and running.

I have a 1961MCA 243WIN that is fitted with the Readfield mounts. The Readfield mounts are very well made and have been on the rifle since I bought it in 1963. I'm glad to hear that someone is making a mount that is like the old Redfield original.

The original Mannlicher Shoenauer rifles and carbines are some of to finest rifles I have ever owned regardless of price point. My 243 1961Mca has had well over 5000 rounds of hot hand-loads over the years, and has taken many deer, and pronghorn along with hundreds of coyotes and bobcats, and will still put five shots under a postage stamp @ 100 yards every time off the bench.

The hammer forged barrel is top class in barrel making! I wish Mannlicher had not discontinued the MS version with it's rotary magazine, and control feed action. I understand that the cost of making the original was dropped in favor of the cheaper to make PUSH-FEED things they call Mannlichers today but I wish they would go back to the old one.
