Re: Good scope for a kar98 german SS
I did a quick look up in my Brownell's book (1-800-741-0015) and found some prices for you to get you in the ball park for materials cost.
One piece base, or two-piece base set ,Leopold, either, $27.00.
Leopold rings,low or medium $36.00, high $49.50
Weaver bases, one or two piece, as low as $3.49 and as high as $18.49.
I prefer the Leopold, but use Weaver mounts also. Either work great.
A lot of scopes even come with the Weaver rings.
I see a lot of Tasco and Simmons brand scopes advertised as low as $30.00.
They are generally good quality, and for a starter, probably a good way to go.
Smiths are a little tricky with pricing. The smith close to me here in Alabama charges $35.00 to do the bolt handle, if you finish the metal work (which is a steal)and he uses Brownell weld on handles which is MIG welded and then finished. If you have that done, request a Lenard Brownell custom bolt knob. They have great lines and is set right where it belongs.
Scope ring mounts are probably done for under $50.00, but it is worth the cash to get it done right, A quack can ruin a good rifle reciever real quick.
I hope this helps you out some.
