I prefer offset mounts, which allow use of iron sights, and scope at the same time, without removing the scope. The old Stevens, and Malcolm scope mounts are very cool!

Although I have rifles equipped with such, I'm just not a fan of side or offset mounts. To me they're just....awkward. Very nice Ballard!!!

Vall, the offset mount, rather then being designed so you can use the tang sight another possibility may be it was for a right hand shooter that needed to use his left eye for aiming. Maybe blind or left eye dominate. Just a thought.
BTW nice rifle...I have a passion for Ballard's and that is a beauty

I have seen a lot several of offset mounts on singleshots in the BPCR and BPTR competitions. The photo above does not illustrate anywhere near the degree of offset that those people incorporate into their rifles. I don't think this offset was suitable for that purpose. "a lot" was a bit of a stretch...

Gentlemen, I am searching for a Paul Jaeger mount for my Mannlicher Schoenauer, which is the same mounting system as indicated on J.D. Steele's post on 7/30/10 shown above. What I am looking for is the mount on the right of his posted photo with high rings. If anyone has one I would be very interested.

There is similar on EBay. Don't know if it is exactly what you want but have a look.

New England Custom Gun Services has some NOS Jaeger mounts & blank bases but only medium 1" rings.
I do know that for 1952 & later M/S rifles medium rings will provide enough clearance for the bolt handle as long as the ocular bell on the scope is < 1.45". I'm not sure about earlier M/S rifles as the bolt handle is shaped differently.

Hello LRF,
would you happen to know the item number for that mount? I am not having any luck locating it.
