This was purchased over there by an Army officer who apparently was unfamiliar with the concept of cheek weld.
It's very nice commercial FN 30-06 that this man was somehow convinced to have a huge 6X Zeiss w/3 picket posts put on. Makes a nice carrying handle. If you put a pillow on the comb, it will shoot almost 5 of anything into 1&1/2" or less, which given the limits of the reticle a'int bad.

Called a couple of claw mount experts and was told to make new mounts for a reasonable scope (2.5-10x32 Nightforce), blued and installed would cost about as much as the scope.

I remember a guy who had an old 7x57 Mauser (WWII bring back) that also has a suitcase handle scope setup with claw mounts. It had a button on the side that when pushed raised the top 1/3rd of the buttstock up to scope level using spring loaded plungers. Clever solution.

Thinking about getting removable fillers made for the bases that could be D&T to mount a Picatinny rail on so I could put super low bases and small objective lens scope on. Could always be put back as there would be no new holes etc.

Anybody solve this already ? Thanks.
