Butch Lambert is selling a pre-war pre-64 in the Classifieds, and I had a couple of questions I posted there but there may be more people here who know the answers: From the Classifieds thread:

Wisner will convert to later style but you have to send bolt to them for installation. I think it's called a Tilden safety. I currently have a G&H side mount on a 30-06 and have had Jaeger's and G&H's in the past and NEVER had any problems with them.I can't imagine either shooting loose or not return to zero. But have personally never had one on anything bigger than 30-06 but would not hesitate to put one on a 375 as I've seen them on several. SCI Life Member NRA Patron Life Member DRSS | |||

Sorry but I ran out of the Tilden levers for the pre war guns, about a year ago. No plans to make anymore. I can fit a complete new sleeve to the gun, this is the 50's stlye sleeve. Ed LaPour also makes a new sleeve. Or you can watch for a used sleeve on eBay. Jim Wisner Custom Metalsmith | |||

Charles: Thought I had replied to your question about G&H sidemounts. Will try again: I have them on all my rifles from 30-06 to 458 win Mag and have never had any problems with them "shooting loose", or, returning to zero after removing the scope to use the open sights. | |||

I think you replied on the post in the classifieds, but I appreciate it. I believe that this mount is Jaeger rather than a G&H. In any event, I believe there was someone more excited about it than me and I think it may be sold elsewhere. I really like the looks of the rifle but I think it would have been a bit more of a project than I had in mind. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||
