I'm well aware that its not a military Mauser. I think it goes without saying right? The only question I had was which commercial Mauser type bases were the best fit? The issue arose from the fact that optics planet, midway USA, Brownells, etc all had different answers and even one had a disclaimer that the Rem 798 would not fit on the others. Even in this very own thread a couple stated that certain bases did not fit, while others did. I'll chalk it up to slight inconsistencies in manufacture.

Not sure how the conversation turned towards cutouts for stripper clips etc.

As for the Brno, you wouldn't consider a Brno VZ24 a Mauser? Seems to me that people are arguing semantics here. I understand that there are small ring and large ring military rifles. I don't care about those, just was confused as to which bases fit the pre drilled holes on the Zastava type rifles, which apparently are a source of disagreement for some
