Hi, any one had experience on mounting scope on Carcano.?
This summer I acquire a Carcano barreled action, the model was already sporterized during the 30', double set trigger, and rebarreled with a Manlicher S. 6.5x54 barrel in the stump of the original barrel, was known as Eaton's Carcano.
I clean it up, blue, set him on a new stock ( Boyd semi inletted ) and now I would like to set him up with a scope.
I was thinking of a Packmayr swing side mount, this could allowed me to keep the scope center on top and still use the clip, most likely need to replace bolt handle with a more strimline one.... any one try this ??? Do you think will work??
If not working what other option is it ? I do not like off set scope ( to the left of the action) nor scouts .
Thanks, Roberto
