Just to keep apples to apples...
here, the reason I installed a scout mounted scope is because my 67 year old eyes, after cataract surgery, won't allow me to shoot iron sighted rifles. When I still could see the sights, I could shoot my '43 Tikka 91/30 to the tune of one inch groups. It is hell getting old......It only will take about 5 minutes to reinstall the original rear sight on my M39.....chris3
