Scope mounts for Mauser 98

I decided on Warne bases and rings on my .375 M98 Zastava. A big part of my decision is that the Warne bases do not cover any part of the ejection/loading port. I am sure there are other bases available as well that do not, but some do. I don't want anything hindering reloading in a tense situation. Talleys look a bit more sleek and refined, but very happy with the Warnes return to zero and stoutness.

I’m looking for suggestions for suitable 30mm bases and rings for a friends Mauser 98 large ring actioned .375 to update the antique 1in Weaver scope to a 30mm Swarovski Z6i 1-6. I’m not sure if the Leupold QD bases and rings will work as they are listed for an FN Mauser 98
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated for both QD and fixed mounts.
It depends if it is a factory sporter action ie FN , Zastava , Santa Barbra, Parker Hale ect with 2 screw holes in each receiver ring no thumb cut out & stripper clip guide. OR or a military action that some body has ground off the clip guide & drilled & tapped , some of these have odd shaped rear bridge & only 1 screw hole in it. Bases listed for FN 98 are for late model sporter actions. I have used 2 piece Leupold & Warne bases on these , to mount a short tubed scope you may need a extended to the rear front base, or a extended to front rear base.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
Philippe
