Was the savage 23 easily scopable or does it require some technicality to do so
My Savage sporter is drilled and tapped for a side mount. Seems like a simple installation.
Mine is drilled and tapped for a receiver peep sight, but not for the side scope mount. I did not care for the peep, because it would have required a higher front sight, because the sight arm must be raised high enough to clear the bolt. Not well thought out. So am using the factory open sights. If anyone has a Savage 23, wants the peep and can live with having to install a higher front sight, being aware of these issues, then PM me.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
I did some casting today, including a pile of Ideal 311008 115gr .32-20 bullets, lower right in the photo. I do love shooting the 32s
Best feral cat cartridge there is....in a '92 or Colt Army Special.

Very true sharps4590. This was the first time out hunting for this model 53 after I repaired and refinished it. I was hunting ground hogs on a state game lands and came across this field lion at about 40-50 yards. He never knew I was there. Lyman 3118, air cooled COW, 5.5/Unique, about 1400fps, small pistol primer. Very accurate load, fun to shoot gun. I've shot a lot of ground hogs with that gun in the years since.
