Leupold bases for Mauser action

[timspawn]

Do the Leupold bases for a Mauser (small ring) action require the stripper clip hump to be milled down?

There are 2 types of mounts.
1 you need to remove it the other you don't.
I have used old Redfield mounts as well.

Leupold only lists one part number. Do you know which one this is?

Leupold #49990 Single piece STD base. It was advertised as a Model 98, but on the packaging it said Models 95 & 98. I can speak to the large ring 98; works great. With three 6x48 bolts, it mounts over the stripper clip hump without grinding.

Walmart stocks them as well. What is the world coming to?

I have used several of those bases on various Mauser projects: an M38 Swede, a 98a Carbine (small ring 98) action and two or three large ring 98's. It does have a cutout to clear the stripper clip hump.

Thank you gentlemen.

The scope mount may need shimming at the rear screw. Brass shim stock purchased from the local hardware store should suffice. Cut a "U" shape piece out that small enough to be hidden under the mount. You're good to go!
