To mount a scope properly, the gunsmith will have to weld a steel block into that hole in the rear of the receiver (intended to lighten the rifle - it didn't help much). Othewise, there is no place to drill the hole(s) for the mount.
That will probably require rebluing the action, since it would be difficult (but maybe not impossible) to do that welding without damaging the bluing.
