Rcm192, I know the full rail work is pretty expensive I went the scout scope way instead I ordered a rail from s&k mounts those folks specializes in making mounts for military surps rifles that's if u want to go that route. All it requires is a long eye relief scope I have a burris ler scope and it works perfect

99 for a sniper! holy ****! that a good enough deal just to but it for the bolt handle! hmm its deff and option to go w the long eye relief but i really like the traditional look of a scoped rifle. If you couldnt tell im also goin for the poor mans sniper rifle lol. but thank you guys for the input

Keep the comments commin!

i drilled and tapped a mosin nagant one time. just once and the metal was so hard on it that i don't think i'll ever volunteer to do one again. it came out nice and all but i would recomend anyone doing one to spot aneal the metal first if they know what they're doing heat treat-wise.
