One question:I have a B&L balfor 4X32 scope I plan on running for optics.What is the general thought on scope mounting
Bite the bullet now chop the hammer drill-tap for extension and use low rings?
Or go with the high rings to clear the hammer extension and put on cheek rest?
I guess that is two questions but all my bolt rifles scopes have been low ring mounted in the past, the lining up my eye behind high rings and cheek higher on the stock is totally new to me.RB

Best option is to use a scope that's Handi friendly so little or no hammer modification is necessary, most fixed low power scopes will work in low or medium rings as is,  for a variable power scope choosing a scope with a small power ring/ocular bell will simplify things greatly without needing much if any hammer changes or requiring higher rings.
