1943 Long Branch Scope Question

[Cantom]

Hi Gents, I have a restored 1943 Long Branch which I have awarded to my 14 year old son who adores it and is a better shot than me. My question is I'd like to outfit it with mount and scope for hunting - not too expensive but nice. What are your recommendations? Thanks and Kindest Regards, Jeffrey

Please don't drill and tap the receiver. Buy a no gunsmithing scope mount like S&K. They are great and don't alter the rifle in any way...you can put it back to stock in 5 minutes or so.
