Here is a scope base chart:

You will not be happy with rings high enough to clear a standard Mauser 180 degree wing safety.
If you want a scope, you need low or medium rings to keep the scope down where you can see through it with a cheek weld on the stock.
So what you need is a low scope safety like this.

I don't know.
What I do know is any scope mounted high enough to clear the Mauser safety will be too high to use properly.
Thats a fact.

Depends on his rifle. Many, like mine, FN's originally came with the low swing left side mounted safey so it works just fine in these low S&K rings and bases.

The man ain't lying. A scope mounted high enough to clear a military style safety would be miserable to try to shoot with. Spend $20 and get a low scope safety. Your neck will thank you.

#402 front and #55rear, or
#20A front and #45 rear.
The FN Comercial action came with a modified low swing safety,IIRC.
The #402 is an extension base and allows mounting of shorter scopes and is approx 0.125" taller than the #20A/45 arrangement. You can also use the #45/46, but I recommend the 402/55 with the Leupold 2x-7x, as that is what I have on one of my Interarms MkX's. The rear objective of the Leupold requires slightly higher rings to allow the bolt handle to clear the rear objective with the MkX and similar bolts. MidsouthShootersSupply.com has a very good chart for the Weaver bases. Other distributers/vendors don't list/show that Weaver Chart anymore.
Brownell's sells (or did) the Beuller low swing saftey for the Military M98's. I believe the Commercial FN Mauser had the safety on the side attached to the trigger assembly as does the Interarms/Parker Hale actions.
