M91/30 Mosin Nagat

[CF Mallard]

Hello everyone, have a quick question for the community I have a M91/30 Mosin Nagat 1942 produced in Izhevsk during WWII.
It has not been modified in anyway and has the Georgia importer mark on it like many do.
My question is can I get a scope for the rifle without converting the bolt to the bent handle variant as a standard Mosin Nagat requires the bolt handle to rotate 90 degrees before cycling back, and if I can is there a authentic Russian scope of the era that fits in this manner, I know of the PU and PE variant scopes but not of the difference in between them or if they both require the modified bolt to be put in place.
Google and images I found were not much help for concrete information.
Thank you in advance.

You can either get a mount that snaps into the rear sight, or you can completely remove the rear sight and use the 11mm dovetail to mount a scout scope on, and you can put the original sights back on if you ever want to change it back

Awesome thanks for the quick reply.

I've heard good things about 'Brass Stacker' mounts. Good press on the web. Might be worth a looksy.

I put a S & K Mount on mine (fits in the rear sight) with a long eye relief Scope....works great and you can put back together original later if you wish.
