The earlier Noske mounts http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/r-noske-wwii-sniper-scope-mount-only-excellent had a unique split base rail that was spread by the two large capstan screws on top of the mount. This always seemed a better system to me than the typical lever/camming eccentric system which rely on a degree of 'slop' between base and rail to allow them to slide on and off. The two large taper-pointed screws also locked the mount in place very well. I suppose the only possible negative was that knurled capstan screws might have been a little hard to grasp for some people, hence the capstan bar holes for a pull through weight or something like that.

Did Noske move to the tapered rail and mount later, or were the different types concurrent?

The 'micro-adjustability' of the Jaeger mounts for eye-relief is excellent. I'm not aware of any other system that offers such a feature.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and photos!

I've never put a lot of effort into trying to sort out all the different Noske mounts and when they were developed and sold.

I believe that this was the first mount that they used, patent filed in 1921 and granted in 1922 which has the dovetail base.

There are so many different Noske mounts, it would make an interesting article for someone to research and write

While we're on the subject of side mounts, does anyone recognize these? They are mounted to a modified Springfield 1903 NRA Sporter on GunBroker, which looks like it should be worth saving http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=181919996

I've never seen that one before!

Hey Mike,

The base mount on this rifle looks very much like the one on my FN. The notch on the dovetail is in the same position as mine and the length looks to be the same.

Going back to page 1 - Michael's 3rd post shows 3 rifles. The one at the bottom with the gold trigger and mag cut-off has a windage adjustable Zeiss Zielklein - you just don't see those every day! I've heard of one new-in-the-box in a collection, but have never actually put my eyes on one.

Good eye Bryndon, I believe that they were introduced in 1938, this is the only one I have ever seen.

It's possibly I've run across others and just not noticed. I won't tell you how long I had this rifle before I saw the windage knob.
