Does a Mauser have the adjustable rear 'leaf spring' sight? I was able to find an adaptor for a Mosin that took the place of the rear leaf spring, it had a set of screws that went into the old roll pin holes to hold it in place. I put many rounds through it with no issue. The only issue really was finding a nice Scout scope with a long enough eye relief.

Not my pic, but I believe this is the same mount.

I'm pretty happy with the Vortex 2-7x that I found. You aren't going to find really high magnification in an EER scout scope. If that is the requirement, drilling and tapping for proper bases is in order. Unless it is a very rare variant in excellent shape, well done D&T shouldn't affect value much. The other option is to clone a period sniper rifle which typically had side mounts, but they aren't real cheap.
