Best scope mount for Mosin Nagant 91-30?

[Matt Dillon]

Thanks again, folks, for all your advice and opinions. I like the idea of mounting the POSP scope mount with the 1" rings. That looks as though it might work. I love the fact that I can take my 4xPOSP off the AK and put it right back on without losing zero, and that would be nice for this rifle as well. Thanks again, and if anyone has any experience or advice, please continue to comment!

How many have tried that ATI scope mount? It looks as though it and the side mount (like the AK side mount) are so far the only options for a real scope. I'm concerned that it is only held in with 2 screws - Anyone tried this?

Here is an article where the gentleman uses an ATI mount to sporterize his M44, He seems to really like the mount.

I have a 1938 refurb gun i bought from a friend dirt cheap and it shoot real good but i would like to turn it into a hunting rifle any suggestions on what kind of scope i should put on it. I want something that is pretty powerful as far as zoom goes...

Check here http://www.accumounts.com/ They have a PEM style scope mount for a 91/30 Mosin Nagant that will let you use a regular scope. It will require drill and tapping the reciever.

Without a doubt, the best mount system I've ever seen.

And this link works. Not real cheap, but worth it.

ATI mount removal m44

I bought an m44 with the ATI kit already installed. Personally wasnt a big fan, simply because It places the scope a little high for my preferences, however it does seem exceptionally sturdy in my limited experience with it. ( I could replace the stock with a Monte Carlo with a higher cheek piece, but a previous owner did a really cool tiger stripe finish on the stock and I cannot abandon it.)
That being said, I would like to remove it, but am not sure it this mount can be undone. Has anyone done this out there? Do I need to "plug" the holes after I remove the mount? If so, can I use shorter screws , or just some sort of filler? I just don't want a "Gas port" right in front of my face for obvious reasons.
I think you may like the ATI mount, but it really isn't for me. However, this is the first rifle I've ever had a scope on save for a .22, and I just don't really like them in general, so I am no expert. Good luck, and remember, an original finish gun that you don't shoot is about as useful as a trailer queen car that you are afraid to drive. Perfect if you're into that sort of thing, but if you're not, then by all means do what needs to be done to it to enjoy it, just make sure it is done right, so you don't end up ruining something. (I excel at ruining things it seems, so I try to only get creative with things that are already altered)
Good Luck!
