I started to fabricate a set of Unertl type scope mounts.

Roy,

Your mounts look good!

A couple of thoughts: I shoot the old rifles in BPCR Silhouette competition, so we are constantly making adjustments, both for range and windage. If you're doing something like that, you might want to find something that gives just enough friction to avoid the knobs turning on their own. Nylon screws or something might work, and would be interchangeable with the brass screws you mentioned.

If you're interested in longer ranges, you also might think about a set that allows more elevation. The mounts made in OK that you mentioned have an additional 0.25" of elevation adjustment, compared with the originals.

The best place I've found for bases is one of your neighbors, Steve Earle, who carries an almost unbelievable variety of bases.

Clever solution! Here is a link to some bases:

Thanks folks........I'm all set with bases. I milled up a nice base for the Malcolm mount and simply use "standard" Unertl mounting.

The mount is now complete, it will need to be taken apart and files and sanded to remove tool marks. But good enough for this weekend.

I finished the mount today.......took it all apart and recoated it in a flat finish....more better!

I also modified the ends of the threaded adjusters to have more area up against the scope tube.

The article explains all this.

I did get out shooting yesterday with fantastic results. Very pleased with how this turned out.
