S&K - INSTA-MOUNT SCOUT MOUNTS

Not a custom mount but fits good, some modifications will help. I put this mount and a Hi-Lux 2-7X scout scope on my K98, I'm very happy. The mount is a snug slip fit between rear sight mounting ears and screws hold good, however I made slight modifications. I purchased longer stainless steel screws (cut to fit full thread depth) and brass washers (to eliminate marking the side of rear sight base, I also replaced the set screws with brass tipped set screws (burrs on the tip of set screws will dig in and mark barrel) I also removed approximately .090"-.100" from top of rear lip that fits under rear of sight base (giving a few degrees of forward MOA saving vertical scope adjustment for longer ranges) with scope centered my POI was 12" high and 5" right at 100yrds,, over 200 rounds full bore 8X57 no movement very solid mount 1"-1.5" groups at 100 yards, if you want a scout scope on a K98 this is the best mount

My setup is K31 with S&K Mount, Weaver top mount rings (product #955-490-003WB) and leatherwood 2-7x32 long eye relief scope. The rings are as low as you can get. I use a cheek pad to get proper eye level on scope. Seems to hold zero fairly well. I am happy with it. BUT when I first sighted it at 50yrds, I found I was shooting way too high. I tried to shim without luck. I finally had to lap off the bottom of the mount (in the rear to get it to point scope upward). Works great now. All K31's are different so you may or may not need this... Last note, with these low rings, this scope just barely clears the rail when turning the mag adjustment. You could go higher but comfort was my number one objective and its perfect.

I have used this mount on a K-31 for about two years now. This is a mount for "scout mounting" a scope, forward of the receiver. I have used a Leupold FXII Scout Scope (2.5 x 28), and a 2X Nikon pistol scope with great success. That's the good. The bad, and not really that bad, is the fact that even with the lowest rings I can find this mount is still high. Instead of a cheek weld, I developed a chin weld; until I installed a cheek piece on the stock. Now it is perfect. Accurate enough to impress the fat guy in the camo pants shooting next to you at the range with his over priced AR. Groups 1" or smaller at 100 yards.

This scope mount is poorly designed. As the other reviewer mentioned, the back side of this mount is too high causing your scope to be pitched downward, which in turn will cause you to shoot high. Even with the dials on my scope adjusted all the way down, I am still shooting 1 foot high.
