are the "no gunsmithing" scope mounts for $10 + s/h any good? i want to put a scope on my 91/30 but dont want to spend $200 for an original soviet one.

[just_a_car]

I've heard good results from more than one member here about them... or at least one or two of them. There are different ones out there. I do intend on getting one for my 91/30 that replaces the rear leaf sight.

[Philip]

i have questions on its stability, if theyll wobble or stay on target

oh, and where do you find them? i see them on ebay, is there anywhere that they're cheaper?

[Spikestrip]

Here's a start:
eBay - Mosin scope mount, Hunting, Militaria items on eBay.com=

[billy]

one poster noticed that there is a dovetail UNDER the rear sight!
he put his rings directly on that!
i dont know how it worked out but it seems bombproof.

it couldnt wiggle if the rings were on there good.
it sounds too good to be true but i see no way for it to fail

[mosineer]

Man, I forgot all about that post. I wanted to check that out. I presently have the mount and scope that Spikestrip has a link for from eBay. Works great with no problems so far(don't be stingy with the loc-tite). But, I do not care for the look that much. If you cut the excess material off of the mount, it is better, but if you can actually mount direct to the rear sight, it would be a lot cleaner look.

thats what i keep thinking.
no weirdo doodads, just scope ,rings, rifle.
if i ever decide to scope mine .
this is the first thing i will do.

isnt that scope you pictured billy way too far foreward? looks like it would be a neck craner

I'm gonna go shooting this weekend so ill get to see how it works out, i'll also post a range report up.

BTW I can forcefully put my hand on the scope and try to wiggle it back and forth and it dosen't move.

Philip that is a long eye relief scope here is a picture of it from the shooters veiw.

[Philip]

oh, i guess that would work =P i think it would be easier for me to get the scope mount doohicky though

[billy]

why would it be easier to install an extra part instead of using the dovetail that is machined into the receiver?

[Philip]

dunno im just cool like that answer my other posts

[billy]

phillip ,you are still going to have to use along eye relief scope.another name for them is a "scout scope"

[Philip]

*shrugs*

[billy]

i give up

[Geo M44]

A standard scope will not work well on a Mosin without modifying the bolt, and even then you will have to load one round at a time, as the scope will block loading from a stripper clip.

I've been using the NCStar, scope and mount, purchased on e-bay and it works great. The long eye relief (LER) scope is pretty much a must-have, in defference to the original side mount sniper rig. For $66+shipping you can't loose.

[Philip]

me too

[bigandrich44]

Phillip, mind explanining to me why your going to take a chance on screwing up a gun, when you could just use the dovetail mount? You don't seem like a bright fellow.......

[billy]

+1

[Philip]

screwing up a gun by removing the rear sight? all you do is drift out one pin!

besides i needa make more money now, just bought 440 rds bulgarian milsurp 182 gr fmj's for a good deal, scope, bolt and strippers come later
