Scope mount issue

turciuoli · September 21, 2010, 11:49 AM

Hi all, I have a 1950's Mannlicher Schoenauer in 30-06 (double set triggers) that was drilled and taped for a top receiver (redfield) scope mount in the 70's and apparently the front mount holes were not drilled on the centerline and are making scope alignment and zeroing impossible. I would think that I need a custom front mount or a blank mount that could be drilled to accommodate the offset drill pattern. Could anyone please recommend a gunsmith or an adjustable front mount that would be able to fix my problem, hopefully a gunsmith in the north east, I’m in NYC.

Thank you for your help

Todd

If the holes are not too far out of alignment, you can try the Burris Signature rings with Pos-Align eccentric inserts that will allow you to compensate for some offset.
