What do you use?
Have just bought myself a lovely bunch of gloss scopes to go with some of my seventies and eighties rifles but modern mounts let the ensemble down.
Any clues?

What you need is gloss mounts made by Ernst Apel Würzburg (EAW) commonly known as Apel mounts.
Hillver also made some nice gloss blued mounts. I had them on a Spartan and they certainly looked the part.
Both will be difficult to the get hold of and expensive...
As above Apel or Hilver. Also, hens teeth but early Parker-Hale look the part although not gloss.
Remember, it is the strongest character that God gives the most challenges.
Thanks, will keep my eyes out.

Optics Warehouse have a selection , I like the steel ones myself and the Leupold ones are particularly nice
but too expensive for me .
Hillver mounts here, Dave: http://gunshop-eb.com/Hillvermounts.php
I've not used that shop myself, so caveat emptor, but I do have a pair of these:
Mine are old ones, in steel, and look exactly the same as pictured... mine came boxed as "Tasco World Class" mounts, but they're stamped "HILLVER" underneath.1" Med 4686N Junior Stainless Finish up to 44mm Objective £24-95
The black ones from that shop look cheap @ £15.
