Creating a Swedish Mauser "Scout Rifle" (No sporterising)
I find myself in need of a scoped centrefire rifle and lack the budget to buy a new gun, but the thought occurs there's an opportunity to turn an M38 Swedish Mauser into a scout rifle, combining the practicality of the cartridge with the history and reliability of the design - and a telescopic sight for a slightly extended range.
It's critical the scope be a "no gunsmithing, drilling or tapping" mount so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas on either an appropriate mount or an affordable but practical scope to go with it?
