Mounting a scope on a Savage M-23 B - 06/12/12
I have an old Savage M-23... I tried shooting it the other day with the iron sights. Shot 10" high at 25 yds. To further complicate matters, my 61 yr old eyes don't like the sights.
Has anyone ever mounted a scope on one? If so, what scope mounts does one use? I would prefer to use a "period" scope appropriate to the years of the rifle. Other than the obvious choices of old steel-tuber Weavers or Lymans or 2 3/4 Redfields, I have a couple of Lyman Alaskans , a Fecker 7x Small game scope, and a Litchert 8x Varmintmaster which I believe is a modification of a J4 Weaver...
Anyone have any recommendations?
