I picked up a custom rifle chambered in 7X61 S&H. The Barrell is a Lechner and I am not sure what style of Mauser action it is. I am trying to fit bases and rings but am haveing a ruff time. Any one know what model or style it is.
That might be a good guess, but Schulz & Larsen rifles were built on a variety of actions, most notably the Mauser 98k action. Schulz & Larsen is a Danish company, so hole spacing will be metric, and the correct mounts may be similar to the old Husqvarna Crown model rifles.My guess would be a set of 45 & 46s
how can i tell if its a large ring like a FN or a small ring like a HVA. What should I look for.
Commercial Mauser 98s are not the same as military Mauser 98s, the stripper clip guides interfere with placement of the rear bridge holes in the same location as commercial M98s. You may also have a different action altogether, since you say it does not say Schultz & Larsen on the action. You could have a Husqvarna commercial 98 action, and the dimensions of those actions and hole spacing is different from FN M98 actions that are the standard for commercial 98s in the USA.I have tried a set of Leupold Mauser 98 2 piece bases, is the 98 the same as the 98K? The front base fit, and the screw holes lined up. But the rear screw holes did not match. Allso the bridge or where the bases mount are different heights.
Actually, 7X61 S&H was a fairly common chambering until Remington brought out the 7mm Rem Mag, and for several years afterwards. Sako and Husqvarna used to chamber for the 7X61 S&H, many European-made rifles were brought back by servicemen, and there are literally thousands of gunsmith-chambered examples out there.There the only ones I can find who might have made a 7X61 S&H.
