Contact New England Custom Gun (NECG)... https://newenglandcustomgun.com/Gun_Services/Special_Scope_Mounts.asp. They are the distributor for German EAW and Recknagel scope mounts, one or both of whom offer mounts for M-S rifles drilled and tapped on front receiver ring and left side bridge as you describe. Whether or not these mounts have the same screw spacing, I have no idea, but I bet they can probably help you.
I hope you're prepared to spend some $ on this project, because this will be expensive. |

I've looked at NECG and obviously they do great (and VERY expensive) work, but I'm not really interested in permanently altering the rifle any further. I was hoping someone might be familiar with the Leupold mounts shown above and have an idea about how/where to go about finding a reproduction or similar mount besides blind luck on the various auction sites. I may just take it to a gunsmith and have them file off a millimeter or so from the contact point on the side of the existing B&L mount. I'm sure it will prove infinitely cheaper and I think I can live with the external adjustment mounting system given my purposes for the rifle.

I'm not suggesting you modify your rifle in any way and wasn't referring to their custom gunsmithing work. NECG also sells high end firearms accessories and say on their website that they offer mounts for M-S rifles that are drilled and tapped in the same manner as yours. Even if the ones offered for sale don't fit your screw hole spacing, the solution is to custom machine or modify the base of the scope mounts, not modify the rifle. If you haven't already, I would call them to see what they recommend, as they may already have mounts that will fit. I doubt you'll find the Leupold mount very easily, if at all.
Modifying your existing B&L mount is certainly your easiest, least expensive option. |

Yeah, finding a 1950s Leupold mount would be a chore. And if you don't want to make any more holes you are really going to have your work cut out for you.
