In my opinion a scope complements a rifle perfectly, especially one used for deer stalking. They enhance the overall appearance, nicely made and fitted rings and bases add to the beauty of the rifle. Continental Gun Makers fitted scopes to their rifles from very early on, especially on Mauser and Mannlicher rifles but also break action rifles. While fitting mounts to a Mannlicher is a little more difficult they are especially interesting, particularly with a nicely shaped rear ring to suit the offset mount. I have made several custom sets for Mannlicher rifles and they are a joy to use and look at, and if fitted properly return to zero perfectly. The front base can be fitted forward of the breech on the barrel and the rear base sits on the angled flat at the rear, so you will not cover any text or engraving. Recknagel make claw mount rings and bases to suit Mannlicher rifles.

My advice is to do it, you wont regret it, if done properly.
