What are the right rings & mounts for these guns?

What are the right rings & mounts for these guns? Does the work have to be done by an expert gunsmith or can I fit these rings like I do for bolt guns which have drilled & tapped for bases?

Some of these are Kreighorfs. Some are the Schul system. I have also seen similar ones in old classic English / Scottish guns.

Recknagel is the name that springs to my mind:

You are almost certain to need a skilled gunsmith as the added mass of the scope could throw out the regulation of a double rifle.

I was considering getting Heym to put a Swaro 1-6 on my .450/.400 before it left the factory seven years ago. They were quite happy to do it but the mounting would have cost $2400 plus the scope.

I agree - these are Recknagel mounts. Ken Buch (Kebco) and his son Carl(Blackbern) sell these for the Verney Carron and Chapuis double rifles they carry.
