You should post a couple of pictures. How the gun was customized may effect how you can scope it.

Your gun is a variation on the M-98 so it shouldn't be too difficult to find scope mounts. The question usually is do you want to tap and drill or if a clamp on will work.

Here's an example of a no drill mount that might fit your gun.

Those Mexican Mausers are small ring, intermediate length, and - if still original - rather rare. Drilling and tapping might lose you more money than you safe by not buying a tapped hunting rifle. Pictures are essential to tell you how to proceed.

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
