Putting a low-mount scope on a Model 98?
I have a WWII war trophy that my dad sporterized back in the late 1940s. It has a turned-down bolt handle.
I am trying to put a low-mount scope on it, but the bolt does not clear the scope. I have put some high-mount see-thru mounts on it, along with a cheek pad to raise my head a bit. It's OK, but not really what I wanted. I had a Model 70 style safety put on it, along with a Timney trigger.
My dad never took anything with it, and I would like to get a deer this season.
Have any of you dealt with this before?
