I have one of those mounts. It is a commercial mount, apparently from a company in Aussieland. Been meaning to mount it on a sporterized No1MkIII and use a Weaver K3 on it. Congrats on the scope purchase.

Congrats on the scope purchas

Hal, Its not mine, just posted it to see if anyone was interested also for info on the mount, its a bit pricy for me.....

The mount is a Parker Hale "Continental", or a close copy.

Ah! I made that mistake too. Looking at it again I see that the seller was expecting 1500 pounds for it & received one offer of 800 which he declined. I know genuine sniping equipment always attracts a premium but to put it politely I don't think there's much danger of him making a sale if he's hanging out for 1500. Even with its original dovetail mount that price would be a bit OTT, at least, IMHO.

The listing has ended so guess he may have got an offer outside ebay, or maybe split the scope and mount..... unless someone here bought it ?

[Roger Payne]

Not me........I don't need one THAT badly!

I've got one that I'll happily part with for only £1499
