I recently purchased a Mauser in 7x64, it is a nice rifle, the only thing I personally find lacking is the scope. It is a Pacor(?) and while it is in very nice shape, mostly clear, and has a nice reticle, it is a fixed 4x and I need more scope from 100-300yds.

The rifle has claw mounts and a 2 leaf rear sight. If I could hit anything with the rear sight I would use it...

So I was thinking another set of claws and another scope. So to the question. What would look good on a Pre-WWII mauser? I cannot afford Schmidt and Bender even being a dealer, so do not suggest them

For the money, you cannot go wrong with a Leupold scope; there are dozens to choose from but you can get a real nice scope for less than $500. I think the VX-3 are a good value.

another set of claw mounts?? hope you have deep pockets. they will cost as much as the scope

Zeiss Conquest, without doubt the best scope for the money if you don't wont to spend on a Schmidt&Bender.

Lorenzo, I will look into the Zeiss, I have a 4-14 that I use for load development and love it.

butchloc, I will fit them myself. So, yes, they will cost a lot, not in cash spent, but rather in cash not earned.
