WTK: How to remove a scope from a Buehler Scope Mount

[md66948]

I need someone's advise who is familiar with Buehler Scope Mounts.

I have a Browning Funken Engraved Rifle that has a Redfield scope mounted on it. I want to remove the scope before I put the rifle up for auction. I believe this Buehler scope mount has a screw in the back that needs to be removed and a set screw in the front that needs to be loosened. Then the scope is pivoted in the front and separates. Am i correct?

This is a High $$ rifle and I do not want to screw it up.

Here are a few pictures of the scope mount on the rifle:





Thank You for your input!

Based on some of the many images I've looked at on Google, I believe you're correct. I'd go ahead with the theory you've posted and avoid forcing anything. But I would make sure I had a good set of gunsmith screwdrivers for the job and set them very carefully in the screw slots.
If it doesn't go as smoothly as it should I'd step back and reassess it. But it's a scope mount not a missile launcher so it can't be that complicated.
I have a Leupold mount that's very similar and it requires a special wrench to turn the front ring assembly 1/4 turn to lock/remove it.

Thank You!

I do have a large set of Gun Smithing Screw Drivers.
