Comment on How do you mount a weaver #2 side mount scope base to a merlin model 80 bolt action 22lr? by DJ

Don’t use the side mount for this rifle. Use a top mount.

Take it to a gun smith. He will drill and then tap (cut threads) four holes like JD said, then he’ll mount two little mounts. You can then attach scope rings to the mounts.

As a Gunsmith, I can tell you that a side mount will also require that at least 3 holes be drilled into the side of the rifle receiver.In addition a little bit of the stock will have to be cut out to make room for the side mount so the base will allow the rifle action to fit flush back into the stock. With the Model 80, you would in fact be better off letting the Gunsmith tap into the top of your receiver (4 holes) and mount a one piece or 2 piece scope mount base. It will be a better looking mount and it won’t limit access to your barrels chamber opening for cleaning purposes.It would also be a few dollars cheaper to do it on top than a side mount, and no wood would have to be removed…..

Comment on Whats a good LER scope for my Mosin 91/30? by gentlewolfspaws

You’ve got options.

Firstly, Leupold makes a scope dedicated for use with Scout rifles.

Leupold “FX-II 2.5×28mm IER Scout”
Intermediate Eye Relief Scout rifle scope.

The next option would be to use a different type of scope. Something like a Bushnell Holo-sight, a Trijicon Reflex sight or an Eotech HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight.

Welcome to world of “Scout” style shooting and hunting!

I built a similar setup about five years ago and my M44 “Scout” has become my favorite hog carbine in the scrub brush of west Texas and has ‘made bacon’ many times.

I was very uncertain about the forward mounted scope concept….it’s quite different obviously. But once I tried it and quickly got the hang of it, I was hooked. Col. Jeff Cooper and friends really were on to something here and I’m a big fan. Also, I’ve converted a few friends to it and they like it too, even putting “Scout mount” scopes on the old Winchester 94 lever guns, which is another quite natural application.

Being a cheap ******* and since I was using an untested $29 carbine with a Darrell’s Scout Mount, I started out with used cheap Chinese NCStar 2.5x LER scope that I got at a gun show for $20. New they are under $40 It worked surprisingly well in the Scout setup, but I cannot recommend this scope as I quickly moved up in quality once the concept was proved to me. I put out for the $100 on the Simmons Prohunter 2x handgun scope and it is perfect for me. You can go up to Burris and Leupold for a few hundred….by why spend so much on a Mosin?

I have also seen the Weaver handgun scope and it looks very nice, as good as the Burris for only about $150.

The NCStar wasn’t horrible, but I have heard quite a few stories of duds. I still have it actually on a friend’s Buckmark and it is holding up quite well.

Be sure to get a good “Y” sling…part of the Scout concept is a sling that can hold your gun steady and tight while scanning the brush for game…..it really makes a difference.

Also, I’ve hunted with more than one Mosin and the Sellier and Bellot soft points have been the best factory hunting rounds I have found, althougt a reloading friend and I are working up some customs for this fall.
