[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3846342, member: 15054"] Yep since I have 2 of these guns and can't seem to dial in the iron sights like a scope can I figured I would try my hand at making a scope mount. NO drilling on gun, No screw removing, No stock whittling, No bent bolt handle. Yep that is correct all i needed to do was remove the rear sight and that spring steel blade under it that slides into a tight slot. I took a Hillman 3 prong nut you use for wood working those with the spikes in 1/4 20 thread. I had everything I need laying around here by the way. Next up is a thick piece of steel I have some 1/4" angle iron and cut a section and whittled it down and drilled a hole into it to make it fit the steel dowel that the front of the sight pivots on. I whittled that Hillman 3 prong nut so it would slide into the slot very tight ..Yes i had to use a brass punch to seat it all the way back. Goodentight. I have not drilled and tapped the scope rail mount holes yet. The rail is from a Savage Axis I cut it and it is raised so a portion of it will go right over the 1/4 20 sloted truss head machine screw. I had to shorten the screw and will need to take some off the top of the head. I drilled a hole in the steel plate to fit very snug over the 3 prong nut. The steel plate is also stepped to fit snug into the Mauser base. Tools used have been a small bench top drill press and an angle grinder and a file. Hack saw and sawzall. No mills or lathes. I have high hopes and a Nikon 2.5-10 x40 that has a lot of eye relief. I can be 7" behind the scope at 2.5 power so I can set the scope up just in front of the bolt handle and still get eye position if I choke up a little. Drill and tap today.
