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".
