Hello, I'm relatively new to the forum.

I just bought a Mannlicher Schoenauer in .270, I believe it's a Model 1958. It does not have a scope mount and, of course, MSs present their own special challenge in mounting a scope. The seller, who seems quite knowledgeable, recommended either a Redfield two piece mount or a Griffin & Howe side mount. Before I start drilling new holes in the carbine, I thought I'd tap into your experience and ask for your comments and suggestions.

Also, do any of you have any recommendations of .270 loads that perform particularly well in an MS? I've had a MS M72 for 30 years and it is a legitimate MOA rifle. Can I expect that level of accuracy from the "new" one?

Thanks.

Tom
