I have a an old hand me down sporterised No 1 Mk III 303. It has the standard ramp rear sight with post front.
I want to get rid of the rear notch/ramp and mount one of the following:
- A conventional compact scope something like a little Redfield 2-7, or
- A "red dot" scope
- Or a "ghost ring" rear sight to be used with the existing front post.
So what are the options, and how would I go about doing it?
I am not averse to drilling and tapping as the rifle is far from original. Also, I have considered a scout scope and dont want that.
The intended use for the rifle is shooting mobs of feral pigs and goats in thick scrub with the odd open shot out to a max of 150 yards, but usually under 50.
I posted this on an Aussie forum but the scene is not as active over there. I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks.
