Any Ideas for Scoping the SVT-40?
- Thread starter Teapot
- Start date
I've considered this myself. My neighbor who is a machinist his entire life, now retired, started his occupation in the US military as a machinist, has many ideas. My issue is to do so that leaves the gun unmolested, yet we have not come to agreement. This guy feels he can make/modify/manufacture any part needed, but not without modifying the firearm. He has yet to pick up his own SVT40 to prove his point, and I wish mine not to be the guinea pig.

Scoping a SVT without alteration is not really cheap. If your SVT have the scope grooves on each sides but no notch on top like the ex-sniper, a sniper repro mount+scope could still work, you could drill and tap the mount and use set screws to lock it on the rifle so the rifle would not be altered in any way. Also, P&S militaria,had a mount with weaver base that slide on the sides grooves and tightened with screws but that mount is not on the P&S website anymore so i dont know who have it or if the mount is still made and i dont know if that mount worked well. As for ejection, the SVT eject on the side so maybe a deflector isnt absolutely required.
No Bubba mount
Here is the mount that people have posted about:
It is very tight, so I might recommend lubing the rails. The other issue is cleaning it afterwards. If you use surplus ammo you need to thoroughly clean after shooting and that would require removing the mount.

Well, I love SVT's, but damn Rattus, I REALLY enjoyed your signature!
That Honey Badger video is frikken HILARIOUS!!! Makes me want to go watch "The Gods must be Crazy" again...
I dont think so because tube diameter on the SVT scope is 26.5mm. Accumount sell inserts so you can put scope with 1 inch dia on Mosin and SVT mount.
