Dear Friend,

I am having fun with my Ishapores, too. It is nice saving the $ buying .308 instead of .303.

I tried the scope mount you are considering and could NOT get it to work. It is held on by two screws that just hold it tight with tension, and no matter how much I tightened them, they would always come loose in about 3 shots. I considered trying to drill into the metal of the barrel so they would seat instead of just having tension, but I just never got around to it. You could try.

Yes, it does preclude top loading, but I have never seen clips for the .308 model, anyway.

Hope this helps.

JP
