Scoping a Mosin

[gremlin1945]

I just bought a scope mount (goes on rear sight mount) and an Aimsport
long eye relief 2-7x32 scope for my run of the mill 1937 Mosin.Got the long eye relief to avoid modifying the straight bolt.I plan on 100 yd. range fun.
Did I make the right choice.I have a bad habit of impulse buying which sometimes comes back to bite me in the ass.

For 100 Yard fun, You did fine, You can even call it a Scout Rifle, But you should go for a M91/30 PU -- That's where the Fun starts, Repro's are still fairly cheap, Most claim they are orginial, But I doubt they are 100% ~ Still a lot of Fun though.

I don't know that I'll be doing a lot of shooting with this rifle.Just occasionally,
and at the range if asked I'm not the type to claim it's a sniper/ex sniper,just a fun gun.BTW I got the mount,scope and rings for $64 all new.Include the $80 out the door for the Mosin and I think I bought a lot of fun for $144.

What mount did you buy? I realize a scout mount, but brand wise.

For what your planning on it should be fine.

I hope the scope will hold up to the recoil of the rifle same for the scope mount. Locktite those screws with blue locktite.

Tite.Red ,blue,green.Which would you suggest?
The AimPoint scope says it will hold up to centerfire rifle use.

Let us know how it works out. I've contemplated doing the same thing one day. Can you provide the specifics of the make/model of mount & scope?

If you don't want to bend your bolt handle look into rocksolidind they make the best aftermarket parts for the mowing, I put there mount and bolt body on mine and to tell the truth it looks damn good that way, I also have the timney trigger on mine and it definatly pulled my groups in compared to that long mushy stock trigger haven't had a real chance to test her out but I have it sighted at about 100 and seen a decent group maybe about 2in while sighting
