To 'scope or not to 'scope & which mounts if I do ???
22/05/15 04:51 PM

I have my Mannlicher Schoenauer M1903 Takedown and there are two decisions to make.
The rifle made in 1922 has never had a scope on it. As I didn't buy the rifle as an investment, but rather to hunt with, I'm inclined to 'scope it.

What would be the concensus on both questions?

Q1. First - Should I 'scope it now?

Q2. There are as far as I know only two mounts available to buy and fit, both made by EAW (Apel) in Germany.
190-00034 - a side mount fitting that allows removal of the scope from the rifle, doesn't hold zero when replaced. The sidemount obscures the Mfr. name 'Oestrr. Waffen.-Ges. Steyr' Pic. is not my rifle.

Pic. is not my rifle.

500-00034 is a swing off type mount that will hold zero but requires a front mount on top of the engraving at the front of the receiver together with a rear side mount. Doesn't obscure Mfr. engraving. Don't have an image of this version mount, but this is what the front mount would cover. Pic is my rifle.

If 'scoping the rifle which would be your choice?

Now I'm going to Italy on vacation for ten days, so will be 'out of touch'....catch up on any replies/views when I return.
Cheers, best wishes to all & thanks.
