I purchased this mount for a custom Mosin Nagant project of all things. Too many of the Mosin rails required the drilling of the receiver, which always makes me nervous, so I opted for mounting the rail to the stock of the rifle using three #6 1/2" screws. This thing is rock solid.

Pros: Great look. Fair price. Easy to mount. Allowed me to keep my original straight bolt though it would work more easily with a bent bolt.

Cons: Slight bend in the rail required a few minutes of file work to fit with my 4-8x42 POSP. Easily accomplished with a set of hobby files and a basic skill. (Posted on 3/25/10)
