Scoping a swedish mauser, what do I need?

[brit84]

I am pondering putting a scope in my swedish mauser. Can someone suggest some mounts that would work with this?

thanks

Couple questions. Is the rifle sporterized and drilled and tapped????
If not there is a clamp on mount that fits onto the rear sight base, I don't remember who makes it.

rifle is stock. no holes, no sporterized.

You will need a new safety as the stock safety will hit the underside of you scope. I've sourced replacement safety levers, but US Import laws prevent me from getting them. A royal pain in the behind, as I can't seem to find a source for them in Canada.

You can get a trigger assembly with a safety lever attached; but its not quite the same. My Swedish mauser was bubba'd a long time ago, so not a problem for sportarizing. I used Redfield junior bases, solid like a rock. Gunsmith told me the steel was the hardest he'd drilled.
