Description
The EGW Mauser 98 Large Ring 3-Hole scope mount is made for the military-pattern Mauser 98 large ring action, the one with the stripper clip hump up top. If you have an old war horse or a sporterized military Mauser and you want to get a real optic on it without fuss, this is the base that gets you there. It is a one-piece Picatinny rail machined from domestic 6061-T6 extruded aluminum, anodized in a matte black Type II finish that cuts glare and holds up to field use. At just 2 ounces, it adds rigidity without adding bulk.
What the 0 MOA Profile on This Mauser 98 Rail Means for You
This is a flat, non-canted 0 MOA base, which is the right pick for rifles zeroed at typical hunting and field distances. A flat rail keeps your scope sitting level and preserves more of your internal elevation travel for a clean sight-in. If you are chasing extreme long range you would want a canted rail, but for most Mauser builds and hunting setups, 0 MOA is exactly what you want.
Fitment Notes for the Mauser 98 LR 3-Hole Undrilled Base
This version is the undrilled, 3-hole military configuration with a center spread of 4.275 inches and an overall length of 6.670 inches. It sits about 0.4 inches from the top of the receiver to the top of the Picatinny rail. Being undrilled, it comes without the holes pre-cut, so it is matched to military large ring actions that need the base tapped to fit. Measuring your receiver hole spacing before ordering is always smart so you know it lines up with the published dimensions.
The full-length Picatinny cross slots give you plenty of room to slide your rings fore and aft, so getting proper eye relief is simple no matter which scope you run. It accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver rings, and the ambidextrous design works the same lefty or righty. EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque with a drop of blue Loctite on the screws for a mount that stays put shot after shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Mauser does this EGW 3-hole rail actually fit?
This is the military large ring version, built for Mauser 98 actions that have the stripper clip hump on top of the receiver. It is the undrilled 3-hole configuration, so it is matched to military-pattern large ring receivers. EGW notes it does not fit the 3000 L, and measuring your receiver hole spacing against the published dimensions is the best way to confirm a match before mounting.
What does the 0 MOA cant mean on this Mauser 98 base?
A 0 MOA rail is flat with no built-in forward slope, which keeps your scope level over the bore. That makes it ideal for rifles zeroed at common hunting and field distances since it preserves more of your scope's internal elevation adjustment. If you specifically needed extra elevation for long range, a canted rail would be the move, but for most Mauser setups 0 MOA is the right call.
What rings do I need to run with this Picatinny rail?
The rail accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, so you have plenty of options. The full-length cross slots let you position your rings wherever eye relief feels best for your scope and shooting stance. Rings are not included, so you'll want to grab a set that matches your scope's tube diameter and your preferred height.
How should I install the EGW Mauser 98 rail?
EGW recommends torquing the mounting screws to 20 inch-pounds with a drop of blue Loctite to keep everything locked in under recoil. The base ships with #6-48 screws and a T-10 bit to get you going. Since this is the undrilled version, the receiver needs to be tapped to match, so a gunsmith can help if yours isn't already set up.
