I got myself a (mostly) numbers matching early production Mosin PEM sniper which for the past three years I've used for hunting.
The gentleman I bought the rifle from told me the original scope was busted circa 1982 and he then replaced it with a Carton Japan 3-9x 40mm scope which sure, it works fine but even with the quite generous 95mm eye relief it has I really need to crane my neck forward to get a clear sight picture and I'm just about fed up with it.
So we arrive at my current quest. I'm looking for a longer eye relief scope with some variable power. Somewhere around 140-160mm should be good.
I really only use the current one up to 6 but more wouldn't hurt I guess if I ever decide to start shooting at ranges longer than 150 meters.
Picture attached for reference.
Yes, those are 3D printed plastic scope shims, the rings are the original 26.5/27mm diameter.They have held fine.
No, I am not buying a new mount.
