Re: classic case of overkill...

Good evening kuduae
I just came across this post (again, first saw it a while ago) - nice rifle, nice roe.
I also have a MS Model 1910, sadly not in very original condition but I'm working on remedying that. I notice that your rifle has a scope fitted. Did you have this done? What mounts have been used? I have just got approval to use the rifle for stalking etc (UK firearms laws...) and would feel much happier not using open sights (once upon a time maybe, but not now!). Also, what is a "Parker-Hale sportarget peep sight"? Finally, do you have any idea where I could obtain a replacement front sight? The one on my rifle is not exactly original...
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can offer.
Andrew
