I have recently made a deal on an original german wartime production scope. My intentions are to purchase reproductions rings made by (add http) ://k98k.com/sale2.htm, and complete the project by finding a yugo or vopo refurbed byf44.

Ofcourse, this would entail a drill, some tapping, and the somewhat bubbafication of a perfectly good mauser rifle.

I stand, balanced, on the fence in this case. I will be making a true to history high turret k98k sniper using a correct scope for the byf44, and as close as I can get rings (see link above for ring and base information).
However it is in some sense or another, bubbaing a rifle, not originally intented to become a sniper varient.

Whats your opinion on the matter?
