I have seen multiple different bases to mount a scope to for the MN. It looks like they mount to where the current sights are. I have not tried it yet but I plan to. A couple I have seen require that you get pistol scope because otherwise it would be so far away from you. I plan on getting my MN scoped, just waiting for the funds. I think the MN is just getting more popular because of how cheap it is/was so they know they can sell it for more now. Supply and demand I guess you could say. My cousin has an M44 and I have the 91/30. I think the price difference would make me stick with the 91/30.

Just me and I am very new to rifles.
