Congrats, don't "modify" it up too much, it's a classic. What looks good is the old 3/4" Redfield 4x rimfire scopes. Can be found on GB or Ebay. I have an old 4x Weaver 3/4" steel tube on mine. Doesn't overpower the lines of that slick little carbine. thats what I have on mine..1958 39a

Now what should I scope her with? My eyes aren't good enough for irons or a peep anymore. I don't want to kill the lines of the rifle with some God awful ring and base set up either. mine wears a Leupold 2-7 Rimfire.

Love those Mountie's! Here's my 1946 M39 (pre "A" and pre white line spacers:) along with it companion K22 also mfg in 1946. Still whacking Squirrels with the best of em. I'm still getting along with peeps (barely) on the 39 and my 1894 but I've a 3-9 Sightron rimfire scope stashed away should that day come. I also have a 1-3X20 Weaver classic weighting for the 1894. Enjoy that Mountie.

And why don't they still make the Mountie? I much prefer their looks to the model 39a.

Looks? I'm partial to the 'feel' of the straight gripped stock and lever, and the 'balance' of the carbine length barrel....

I have had a 39A and a Mountie and let them go in trades. I have been trying to replace the Mountie for quite some time. I have come across several but I was preoccupied with another pursuit and missed the opportunity. They both have a deserved reputation for accuracy.
