Having a scope mounting problem for a FN Mauser actioned rifle. Does anyone know who makes a steel rail for the FN Mauser and who makes the lowest 30mm rings for a Picatinny rail? Thanks

Every 30mm pic rings I’ve ever tried were way too high for my taste unless i had a 56mm scope

Rails can be nice, but they always seem to significantly add to the height of the scope.

I use Burris Extreme Tactical Signature rings. Buy an extra pack of inserts to custom fit as needed. They are worth any height concession that may have to be made.

I use Ken Farrell Lows but another option that is much lighter and also super low is Recknagel: https://www.newenglandcustomgun.com/proddetail.php?prod=7870.001" higher than Ken Farrell's Lows. For all practical purposes, same height.

The ARC x-low are .79". I have a set of their lows and like them a lot. Probably grab another set of them. Love the Seekins too though.

Instead of a rail, consider good, solid two-piece bases like Warne makes. Not all FNs were D&Td from the factory, at least not with four holes, so “standard” one-piece bases don’t always fit. In addition, you’ll have better access to the action and they look better. The Warne front base has two slots, so you still have some flexibility on ring placement. https://warnescopemounts.com/product/mauser-fn-matte/

I keep an eye out for a lower 30mm that may not be as low as a Farrell x low at .735, but lower than a lot of the more popular .820-.840's, but for a lower price than the Farrell. No love so far.
