Milsurp scopes?

[Mooseman]

I have a M/N 91/30 and I was wondering if there is any way of affixing a scope to these and other milsurps without drilling and tapping them. I know people often sporterize them but I'd like to do something reversible. Any thoughts?

The ones i have seen require removal of the rearsight and then a mount is placed in it's place. You can mount it without permanent alteration to the rifle. The problem with the setup is that the rifle will be setup in the scout configuration because the rear sight is too far forward.

An example of the type of mount Sactown is talking about can be found here:

I do not have one of these mounts or know anything about them other than reading about them.

However, as the article states, you really should use a scope with a long eye relief for this type of mount.

It's too bad the guy from Iron Elite hasn't made a scope for Mosins. I've seen his work on K98's and M-48's and they are very solid

Darrell makes a great scout mount for the 91/30. It is completely reversible if you choose to ever remove it from the rifle. Many people rave about his work...I would highly recommend him.

So why do the reproduction scope mounts for 100 dollar surplus rifles cost 600 dollars a set?

The ezboard network appears to have made some changes, you now have to register just to see the forum. Doesn't make much sense, new people will never find it if they can't even see it. Unless I'm just missing something...

Anyway, I have one of Darrell's mounts for my K31. Outstanding quality. Machined from a solid block of aluminum, very tight fit, no movement at all, no permanent alterations to the rifle required.
