you must understand that in older times many hunters were more than suspicious about scopes seeing them as not sportsman like. and scopes were very expensive for the average hunter and they dont use them permanently but having them in a leather box hanging on the side. the scope was mounted when they shot on longer distance. the old scope mounts are very expensive to made today but thats the price you pay for the quality. when a good craftsman do it you can remove the scope many, many times and set it on again and it works.

I dont know any method for a clip- less use of the common M 95. it can be done like it was made with modernized M 88 military rifles using the mauser stripper clip.
