Was given this book a few years ago by a relative, gave it a quick glance but never read it in detail.
Glad to have it today as I mounted a scope on my Schultz & Larsen target .22LR, (thank you Tradex).
The receiver was so hard that my first attempt to drill it a hole ruined my drill bit. (Fortunately I did't begin with the only #31 Drill bit I had).
The rearmost screw hole was okay and it drilled out just fine but the others required some very delicate work with the smallest Dremel stone I had. Removed material exactly where the hole would be drilled until I could hardly see the center punch mark; then remark it a bit deeper and grind some more. Did this a few times then drilled the hole with a 3/32" high quality bit to the depth I wanted. Run a final pass with the #31 drill bit then tap it using Hoppes #9 as a cutting fluid.
Installed my Weaver #71A bases on it and mounted a Bausch & Lomb x36 target scope in Burris Zee rings and zeroed it just as the sun went down. Only fired 20 rounds of cheap ammo at 25-30 yards but its on target now and ready for a day of nice weather. I am looking forward to what this may be capable of.
Anyways was glad to have the book on hand, without it I would have given up early in the day.
