This is my BRNO with the same kind of sighting setup as yours. I wouldn't change it for the world. The side mount leaves a clean receiver top when the scope is removed, nothing to interfere with the receiver sight, and the Lyman 48 is a top grade receiver sight. Mine has a carbine length barrel with a normal stock and is caliber 7X57. My side mount is a Griffin & Howe, but the Jaeger leaves little to be desired.
