Ive got a russian capture k98. I believe it was refinished and it has all of the parts electro-penciled to match. I am wondering does it have any serious collector value or is its value based on just being a nice shooter. if i scoped it would I be ruining a piece of history or just let me shoot it better at longer ranges.i bought it last year for 179 dollars and now i havent been able to find one at a gun show for cheaper than 230 dollars now.i know someone is going to say just buy a savage or whatever, but I am asking if scoping it would not ruin it or should i just leave it how it is. Also, are there are historically acurate scope mounts available or ones that look like it? I would prefer to not have a scout mount. I have a leupold 3x9x40 vxII looking for a home on a nice rifle. open to any suggestions.
