I was looking at a 9.3x74R O/U rifle yesterday and it had what I would estimate as a standing rib that was 1/3 of the barrel length. The open sights were a simple "V" and a fairly small bead on the front post. Except for the read v-sight there wasn't anything else on the rib that would facilitate the installation of a scope.
My question is, in this situation, what is the best way to mount a scope so it is quickly detachable and hopefully wouldn't look like "crap" when the scope was off?

Have you hunted Africa with your Cotinental? I have been considering a set to use on PG and birds on safari. How is the trigger? I have some concerns about a shotgun trigger with rifle barrels. Any info about the Continental would be appreciated.

Yes, claw mounts would be best. Do a search for einhakmontage and you should see them, Suhl makes good ones. I will say they aren't cheap, would guess around a thousand U.S., and the scope used should have a rail on it, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

check the rib width. I've got a pair of berettas. the 06 I made a small block and screwed it to the rib, to which the scope mounts (leupolds) and another 9.3x74 that the leupold detachable rings just needed a small milling groove to fit on. Both work excellent. on the shotgun question - I've also got a 20 ga barrel set that snaps onto either rifle. This system works great, in fact this year after I shot my ele I had the 9.3 along to blast away at other stuff, and the shotgun barrels kept the game in poultry products for the duration

Recknagel http://www.recknagel.de/ will send you a catalog if you request it. They are the provider of mounts to NECG. Their catalog is much more extensive (for mounts) than NECG's.
