I'm looking for some wisdom from another classic Husqvarna fan. I have two early Husqvarna Mauser 98 sporters, both with FN-made commercial actions. One of them came with a side mounted scope base fitted, but no scope or mount. This base is attached with three screws, and has an 11mm wide dovetail with a narrow section at the center and two crossbolt grooves.
I've seen other Husqvarna rifles for sale on Gunbroker and at Simpsons that evidently have the same kind of mounting arrangement, but so far I haven't located a mount for sale by itself. Right now I have a stand-in in the form of a unitized 11mm air rifle mount holding an offset scope, sort of in the manner of an M1D Garand. It works, but lacks elegance.
Based on the dimensions shown in the photos or your own knowledge and experience, does anyone know whether there are other scope mounts compatible with this base other than those made by Husqvarna? I'm particularly curious whether the dovetail would work with the reproduction mounts made for German and Swedish military Mausers.
FYI, I contacted G&H and their system is dimensionally incompatible.
