Thanks to all who might look and respond to my question,
I have a Smith and Wesson, Model C Rifle in .30-06 w/HVA 1900 action -- I bought it years ago for a Western hunt that never came to be. Fast forward to today, I now have a hunting use I want to press this rifle into service for and would like it to be scoped.
So, I'm wanting to purchase scope, rings, and bases through Amazon to take advantage of the no interest if paid off within the special financing period. That being said, I can't seem to find the correct base set on Amazon that I want, in Matte finish.
Based on Warne's lookup page from their website, it says that I'm in need of the combination: M898828M (for Matte black) - M898/828M - Warne Scope Mounts
When searching on Amazon, this is how Amazon describes them,
Mauser 96 Small Ring Mat 2Pc Base by Warne
My problem is this. I can't find that exact part number on Amazon. I DO find: M898829M - which should be Matte finish (but pics Amazon shows look more like stainless to me)
I have several questions:
Again, thanks to all for your help... :thumbsup:

I have several questions:
- Does anyone have some kind of link or actual literature that gives actual specifications to a given part #?
- Can those two sets be used interchangeably, being only 1 digit apart on the last number?
- Do the numbers represent the thickness/height of each base piece?
- If the pictures is right and they are silver in color, what method would you use to make them into a black, matte finish?
- Total flyer, anyone shooting with a Vortex scope? (Looking at Diamondback or D-back/HP -- Love some feedback. I've read a lot on them, and they seem to have quite a bit of positive feedback.)
