RFI: Steyr Mannlicher Luxus rings

[SkyScrapin]

Long story short, I have had this rifle for quite some time. The original owner had an identical rifle that was stolen and ended up getting recovered which he bought back from the insurance company. During the interim the insurance company replaced his rifle and scope. He later transferred the new scope from the new gun to the old gun. What you see pictured is what was left over.

I’m not a Steyr guru. Requesting a little input as to what these bases are, what model bases this Steyr can use, if there is a better option for a pic rail or any other recommendations.

Scope wise, I’m thinking 30mm. Probably a 3-15 or smaller.

Or if anyone knows who is an expert that can be called up, that's be great too.

Those look like old school Leupold fudd bases in which the front right fits into a dovetail on the base then is turned 90 degrees to face fore/aft and lock in. The rear ring is "windage adjustable" and retained with two side screws that are missing from the base.

I agree with this

Others made that style as well though I think.
I’d probably just replace them altogether rather than trying to replace the missing bits.

The bevels on the corners look like Redfield to me. Leupold has a concave indent on their corners.

Talley are my go to for a nice wood/blued rifle. They offer Steyer bases, pretty sure yours would take the Steyer Mannlicher base as it looks like the same action.

That looks like it’s built on the SBS action. If that’s the case, it should use the same bases as a Browning A-bolt.

+1 on Talley. Classy quality.

Absolutely. It's an obsolete system, and for good reason.

Just call Steyr USA in Alabama

Confirmed!! Redfield.

Alright fellas, we got this figured!

It's a 1997 rifle that uses "M" style bases. Not sure what that means, but will look at Talley.
