Some more pictures from Don S's gunsafe. This time, a Mauser 10.75x68 Type B. What a beauty!

My dad had one in the 50s & 60's in India. He shot 2 leopards with it & then sold it when I was 12. I would dearly love to track it down! I have seen a couple here in New Zealand with octagon to round brl & full lenth matt rib! Any idea what one would cost without scope?

The scope and mount on this rifle raise a question for which I have never had a satisfactory answer. When a scope such as this, which has no internal windage adjustment, is sighted in, using the rear mount to provide windage, how does the front mount deal with the torque? Is there some unseen mechanism which allows the scope to subtly pivot, or is the scope simply bent?

There are several obsolete American made mounts, some dating from the '30's, which provide for windage adjustment (Griffin & Howe and Noske come to mind, as well as Redfield, Sisk, and Buehler), but they all allow the front ring to pivot, avoiding putting any stress on the scope tube. I can see no such mechanism at work here.

I'd be more concerned with those dovetails just above the chamber.
A beauty, but mutilated. I know this was common practice back then, but still...

I really don't understand why it's considered mutilated when the factory accepted the practice as safe enough.

Regardless what the factory thought back then, any European proof house will consider this unsafe today.

Actually, in this particular case the dovetails are quite within reason. I am not a fan of rifles with the dovetail on the front receiver ring but this one is dovetailed into the barrel. My type S has a barrel of 1.200" just ahead of the receiver ring. That leaves chamber walls at least .375" thick. Subtract about .100" for the dovetail cut and you still have a chamber wall of .275". That's actually a bit thicker than a Military 98 at the same point.

Great rifle Don!
In answer to the question from xausa, I think there is enough axial motion attainable in the front claw mount. The most windage adjustment you would ever need is about two degrees left or right of centered (maybe less)- the claw system will allow for that.

Great Rifle.
How long is the barrel?
I am testing some 320 grn GS Custom HV bullets for my 10,75x68.
I was at the range with the rifle but forgot the chrono

Cheers,

André
