Unfortunately I don't have a lot of money right now for a good scope, but I do intend on getting some reloading dies, and I'm considering necksizing dies/ unless that would cause a problem with feeding from the magazine. Back to the idea of a scope. When I scoped my Mosin Nagant with a scout scope and handloaded for it I was able to dramatically shrink the groups. If not for the lousy trigger I think I could do even better. Since the Mauser rifle is tapped for a scope I should be able to get a non- long eye relief scope and hopefully mount it just shy of clearing the bolt handle. Next If I could find an affordable cheek riser that works without modifying the stock, I would be set. Bradly makes one, but it is around $90.00. Anyways, I am just glad I could afford this rifle. $300 seems kind of steep, but it's worth it if this gun is a real shooter.
