Replacing Buehler one piece Scope Mount

I need to replace the scope and rings on an old FN Mauser I have. Would I be better replacing the whole mount and rings set with a newer Leupold? Anyone know a source for Buehler rings?

As best as I can tell the holes seem to match a Leupold one piece base.

Thanks for your assistance!

Rusty,

I have bought a couple of pair of Buheler rings on ebay in the past. A little patience may be required since they are not always listed.

Yeah, Buehler bases and rings show up on ebay, often new or like new. Keep it period correct.

Also look for Weatherby rings, same as Buehler's.

I'm not sure if you are asking form a quality standpoint or if you just need taller rings?

As far as quality, Buehler is about as bulletproof as they come.

If you just need taller rings, they are available on ebay.

If you decide to stay with the Buehler set-up and find that you need some of the hardware let me know as I have quite a collection.

If you decide to sell replace your Buehler rings(or rings and base) I would be interested in buying them.

Thank you all, for your great information. I contacted Tip Burns who had a medium high set and they are on the way to me. Glad to stick with the Buehlers!
