looking to mount a scope on my mosin. What brands/types of mounts

Buying a new rifle. You're not going to get anything out of scoping a Mosin.

You're going to spend more on a scope and a mount. And you won't get any performance if you do decide to forgo my advice.

Why not improved performance, the guns accurate within a few with the iron sights at 60 yards, wouldn't a scope just improve accuracy past where my eyes can see

If you're intent on scoping it, do it right. Get a RSI mount and have the bolt bent. Don't fuck with the scout scope mounts.

HOWEVER

as >>31063186 mentioned, you won't get much out of scoping a mosin, especially if you're shooting milsurp ammo. If you have a good bore, get it recrowned or barreled, and hand-load, I've heard you can get close to 1" @ 100 yards. Also plan on bedding the action and action screws.

If you decide to go ahead with this, let me know; I've got a RSI mount I'll sell you cheap. I was going to do what you're planning and decided to build an AR instead.

Youre going to spend about the same on a new production rifle with a cheap 3-9 scope as you will to have your mosin tapped.

I just mounted a Brass Stacker Anchor Point mount on my M39. It lets the shooter use the iron sights, comes with some necessary tools, and is entirely reversible in 10 minutes or less. It's also very solid since it mounts to the cross bolt in the stock and the rear sight ladder pivot pin. Virtually nothing to fear for someone looking to maintain the historical integrity of the rifle and use the iron sights. It's a bit pricy at about $120 after shipping though.

Oh, and just wanted to add, it's very easy. All you need to install it is an 8-ounce small or ball peen hammer, a durable table vice, and the screwdriver you'd normally use to field strip the rifle. The kit comes with the pin punch for the rear sight, a tool to unscrew and replace the cross bolt, and all necessary Allen wrenches. I had some issues (Amazon sells the kit for Russian/Polish/Chinese rifles but advertised it as fitting the M39) and the customer service at Brass Stacker was AWESOME. The folks working the phone seem to also be the ones machining the parts or running the business. It's definitely worth it to order from Brass Stacker directly so you don't end up in limbo with a third party.

Thanks for the input. I plan on using the rifle for the upcoming deer season, since I've been using shotgun and now but haven't gone with a rifle yet.

I'll look over the different options, and since I've got a bit of time to decide I'll post what I do at some point

You should really think about something else. I've taken Mosins hunting and while they can work, they're not ideal in any way.

>>31063555
I plan on doing the same. Here in NY though, the chances of taking a shot more than 100 yards away is unlikely. If you can hit a paper plate at 100 yards with hunting loads you're gtg. Just make sure to test ranges in between too.

jmeck is pretty good. Blue Loctite on the screws though. Fully reversible and holds zero well.

I punched out the pins on the rear sight, removed it. Underneath is a 3/8 dovetail. Got 3/8th scope rings that puts scope height offset at 1.5 inches. This is a good cheek weld. The dovetail seems machined level against the bore. This is important for accuracy. The rear ring I notched with a dremel to push the rearsight pin back in its hole with a bit sticking out flush with the ring notch I dremel'd. This holds the scoped assembly from shifting on the dovetail. Everything got blue lock tight on assembly. I can easily punch the pin, unscrew the rings and return the rear sight to original in case a 1942 beat up war mosin suddenly is sought after as a collectible.

The scope I mounted is a cheap Ncstar scout 2-7 no fancy illuminated reticle. just crosshairs. it seems to hold zero.
