Hi all. A good one for the target gurus amongst us. Does anyone know how a No4 Central peep sight is mounted to an M98 Mauser action?? I have seen a couple over the years, but never took a whole lot of notice, but now I want to mount one on my M98, to shoot in H class service rifle competition. I’m happy to make the mount/bracket, I would just like to see how it’s done, before I do it all wrong. The action has been tapped for a scope base.
Thanks in advance!!
Fixed my problem, with this baby! Parker Hale M80 long range target sight!! Yay!! I will get to enjoy my 3006 FN Mauser in some H class competition, it’s only taken me 5 plus years to build!

Nice find. Am I looking at this right, you mount that on the rear scope taps? The peep sight is on the left? Elevation on top, windage bottom?
Yes those 2 holes I may use to mount where the existing holes are tapped on top of my action, but i may have to machine/modify the mount interface slightly.
The scale on this pic rests/faces left hand side of the action.
This is what I had on it, but I wanted something with target turrets.
Its Cerakoted grey, and has a bent bolt handle now, it’s almost finished…the FN really is a smooth as silk action.

Don’t worry mate I’ll get it back up for sale as soon as it turns up, bloody won’t be $150 though. $$$ 
Seriously though, that bloody sucks mate.

Long time, for a thread revival, but i kinda wish i had have left it a straight bolt. Anyhow just got a 1903A3 sight for it now, and im looking at re crowning the barrel back to 20 or 22 inch, with a parker hale peep front sight. It will be like an M44 Nagant to shoot next to haha!

I appreciate that this is a rather old forum thread but - it is possible to replace the elevation and windage screws on a Williams sight with Target Knobs, hence the TK variety of the same sight.
They are available from either Williams or Brownells. If you do go down that rabbit hole, also consider replacing the elevation lock screw with a Gibb-lock screw. Saves a lot of dicking around with a screw-driver.
