Before you swap out that Mauser safety, try and see how much clearance you need for it to work under your scope. If the point of contact is the tube of the scope and not the belled-out optic lens, you might be able to grind a bit off the safety lever and keep the original safety in place. It's a good one.

If you have the original trigger on that Mauser I have a different suggestion. Replace that old creeping trigger with a Timney trigger which includes the safety. I installed one on my rebarreled 98 and improved the rifle considerably. My rifle is in a 7 X 57 Mauser and it is a thing of beauty. Incidently, there are drop in synthetic stocks made specifically for Mauser 98s that are terrific. My action dropped into that stock like it was custom made. It did get a little expensive as I put a better recoil pad on the stock as well but the rifle is now a keeper. I hope yours will prove to be the same.
