I just recently got a 1944 ex-sniper. I only bought the rifle because the guy didnt have a scope or scope mount for it. I do plan on getting a PU scope and mount for it soon. My question is, what is the diameter of the mounting rings on a PU scope mount? My plan is to put a PU scope mount on the rifle and then put a modern mil-dot scope on it. I am only going this route so i will have it ready to go for deer season. I will get a PU scope for it before the year is out, you better believe . Just my budget isnt quite right at the moment. It will cost $400 for a 1944 PU scope and mount, and it will cost $250 for a modern mil-dot 4-9x50 scope and PU scope mount. That way i will already be halfway there with the correct mount. My only problem is i can not find any information regarding ring diameter anywhere on the internet. I have been told that it is 30mm and i have also been told that it is 1inch. So i figured it was time to go to a real source of info, the folks at SB :thumb:. I just have a feeling that i will get the mount and it will be too small to hold a modern scope, if it is too big that can be fixed easy enough. Does anyone know of any other mount? I do believe i have seen some kind of polymer mount with a rail, just cant find it again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

BTW, i only plan on mounting anything on the side of the reciever, where the scope originally was. I will not remove my rear sight aperture to mount a scope. I am from the school of "scopes lose there zero, irons do not".

The first thing I found googling,

This SVT/PU scope is made of blued steel, the tube has a diameter of 26.5mm. It will fit SVT-38 or SVT-40 mount as well as PU mount.

It's a repro but fits original mounts so I would assume. You'd probably be better off hitting the gun boards with a question like this. I'm surprised a 44 would have been a "sniper". You sure about that?

problem solved,scroll down to the PU scope mount with 1'' split rings.

Yes they had there "sniper" set ups

You'll probably have to shim the mounts as most modern scopes are 25 mm diameter if memory serves.

The original scope used their own dimensions and didn't fit the standardized 1 inch or 30mm rings that we use today. You're not going to be able to get a modern scope to fit the original rings. But there are a few places making modern mounts that use 1 inch or 30mm rings. They're probably a lot cheaper than an original mount too.

Wrap the portion of the scope the rings will cover with hockey tape (black) to thicken the scope to fit snugly inside the rings.

Original rings are out there ... a lot of the mounts being sold are reproductions, some parts (thumb screw, for example) do not fit the original mount. Check e-bay for miscelaneous PU mount componenets.

OP said a 1944 (date of mfr), not a model 44 tanker carbine. Was this rifle fitted with the mount by the armory, or is it someone else's unfinished project?

It was a sniper from the factory. I guess the scope and mount got lost in translation over the years. I think i may have figured out what i am gonna do, from the help of everyone. When i get it done and if i ever figure out how to get pictures put up i will let yall see how it went.
