I have a nice Redfield if you might be interested.

I had a Lyman 57 on my 96 and it put a serious dent in the woodchuck population and made several farmers happy in my area. Led to permission to deer hunt several of the farms. The 96 was too long and heavey for my style of deer hunting.


Life is too short to hunt with ugly guns.

Specifically a 48M or a 57SME (if you go searching online for one).
Good luck. Can help if you don't find one.

Why not just go with the Norwegian sight like the Soderin rear aperture/diopter??

I've had both sights on Mausers. Still got the 95 Mauser with the 57. Traded the one with the 47 which in my opinion is a more complex and expensive sight than the 57. I considered it more of a pure target sight. The guy who got the Mauser with the 47 wanted it as much for the sight as the rifle. The 57 is a good receiver sight and works fine for my use which is as much plinking with reduced loads as anything.

I prefer the Lyman 48, in my estimation, the most sophisticated and precise of those types mentioned above. The Lyman 57 would by my second preference and such as the Redfield Model 70, if I recall Model correctly. Understand that not only the D&T of course required but also the stock to be inlet to accommodate. 'Sometimes the 48, in it's last - 3rd Series can be mounted without the inletting. But "a miss is as good as a mile", if it requires inletting, a "little bit" IS inletting. I'd avoid the black alloy Williams iteration, as my opinion the others mentioned are better!.
My listing for the 48 by type of rifle is only for factory models. I 'suspect' the Model "M" For Mauser, is correct, but you need to be sure whichever model you elect. Someone here or another Forum should have the exact model nomenclature for fitment. There are also the choice on most of these sights of "hunter" or "target knobs". Less often presumed adjusted, utilizing "coin slot" adjustment knobs OR more often, a knurled pattern respectively.
Now, as the saying, if you're not confused... You're not paying attention! smile
Good luck & Best!
John
