03A3 scope mounting?
« on: June 26, 2008, 08:04:46 AM »
I have an 03A3 that I picked up for small money and have a question on scope mounting?  I picked up a Redfield JR mount and If I  mount the rear screw the front of the action will have to be drilled and tappped behind the bolt luggs.  I always thought that was a no no, it would weaken the action?  Does anyone have experience with the 03A3 Springfield and scope mounting that can help me?

Thank you,

bigboar
