    It's the best mount I have found if you don't want to modify your rifle. I had to grind the lower corners of the rings where the fit in the mount so I could move the ring further back and clear the rear sight protector ears. Probably just the rings I was using.

    I used Weaver medium "top mount",49041.No grinding,rear ring fits in frontward slot.Cheap Tasco 3x9x40 until I get funds for a "period" looking scope.Next on the list is a good cheek rest.An internet search revealed several options that I like.Blackhawk has a pretty good looking one,lots of "lift"to get your eyes higher above the stock.It's made of nylon though,so,if it works good I will take it to a saddlemaker and have one made of leather.
