To be honest, if I was going to do it, I'd use real parts...cast off. Still, the way I understand, they have to be regulated, or calibrated...however you want to say it. When they were done originally they were done and serialized for a reason. That's why some just use the screwless mounts to make a #4 shooter and don't try to make it look like a proper #4T. Like a "B square" for lack of a better example. There IS a UK
site that produces what I think are real parts, though they're aftermarket for sure. We've discussed them here before...
Mount... Fultons of Bisley - SCOPE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR SCHMIDT AND BENDER L13A1 SR1
I know we had the blocks somewhere too...made in the UK I think.

You could make your own and fit them - or use some of the other repro stuff BUT........ Whatever you do or use you have GOT to make sure that they are fitted in accordance to the instructions written for the forum several years ago. And remember this. It is the BRACKET that is fitted to the rifle and not the telescope. It's the BRACKET that has to me collimated exactly mechanically to the bore

Can i add that since repair the repro scopes track well, my concern with using the real one isnt wear and tear.
I was more concerned with damage or worse, theft. We use comunal racks for storage on the range, suffice to say i always keep any eye on my rifle. Hard to replace seeing the scope has already made one trip back across the pond for some attention by someone skilled.

I hear or rather read a lot of things about reproduction no.32 scopes,most of it isn't favourable-whilst others think they're the sunshine & lemons of the optics world.
You've asked for advice,it's been given,so it's your choice.
I'd say if you were going to build a no.4t on the cheap,go for it & tell us how it pans out.
Or you could hold off & save for a genuine no.32 scope,buy one of Roger's bracket's,purchase a scopeless Savage T & have Brian recalibrate the pads to mount your scope & viola!
Semi-instant gratification.
