Hay Savage T: I think I saw a 'scout mount' like the one badgerben mentioned that would fit any of the Mauser bolts without drilling and tapping the receiver. I know that you can make up a scout mount yourself from a weaver rail that would fit inside the rear sight base and apparently this has held up well for one of the other fellas who used it.
Don't know if this is whatcha had in mind but we can certainly talk about it when we get together. Hope that wedding went alright, as well as the drive down and back. Hi to Peggy. Mikey.
