I thought because I had to figure this out on my own perhaps somebody else could benefit from the information.
First off this model gets a lot of hate at 6lbs. with a 16.5" barrel and a saddle ring. It is a cavalry carbine meant to be worn mounted hanging over the shoulder. It has a very short throat but will seat long cases and even 405 WLN bullets will bump the lands seated to the crimp ring.

To the scope mounting. There is no standard scope mounting for this rifle and I found no decent information about it when I set out. I measured and did the math and scoured through every single weaver base to find the best fit and came up with the following: Using a #68 base in the front and a #54 in the rear was as close as I could get (as close as they make I believe) and allowed me to get close enough to use Burris Signature medium height 1" rings #420521 with 2 pairs of 1" ***-align inserts #626019 (you need two sets to get two of the largest offsets). You can bias the mounting for long distance shooting or to center the scope. I chose an ultra lightweight fixed power scope (6.5 ounces) and my end product looks like:198693
I know these were not popular models (although I plan on buying more) but they are out there and still being sold for under $900 new which is an aspiring High Wall owners dream if you ask me! I know I'as one.
