I know I asked this question 3 years ago.... but.... now I have two new Mausers that I'd like to put a scope on. I bought one for $100 and the other somebody owed me $100 and asked to trade instead. How could I say no? They're a M-98 with a 30-06 barrel and the other is a Chilean that was converted to 6.5x55 by somebody before me.
Can any of y'all cut/weld/forge/bend the bolt low to clear a scope? I don't really want to screw it up so I'm trying to figure out what to do before I spend any money I don't have.
Thank you!
