New England Custom Gun Service furnishes and fits Recknagel mounts. www.newenglandcustomgun.com

That said, my personal preference is for the Griffin & Howe mount.

Because the scope in a claw mount has to be tipped forward when removing it from the rear base, the front ring must be fitted close to the front end of the scope. With a scope featuring an enlarged objective, the ring has to fit over the objective, which means that the scope tube has to be mounted high enough to clear the objective, the ring and the base. If the front base is mounted on the receiver ring, then the rear of the scope projects further to the rear than necessary (or safe, in the case of heavy recoil).

With a G&H mount, the rings are on the main tube of the scope, behind the enlarged objective. Because the top part of the mount can be adjusted to slide off either to the front or to the rear, the scope with an enlarged objective can be mounted almost as low as one with a straight tube. The objective does not have to clear the receiver ring when removing the scope.

My MS carbine has a Unertl Hawk 4X scope mounted with a G&H side mount, and I could not be more pleased with it.

For example, look at this MS which is fitted with claw mount rings appropriate for an enlarged objective scope, and note how much higher above the iron sight line of sight the rear ring is.

Then look at this straight tube scope, and notice how far back the ocular lens has to be to allow the scope to tip off.

Finally look at the same rifle with the G&H mount. Actually, the scope could have been mounted even lower and further forward. With my scope, both rings are fitted behind the windage and elevation knobs.
