I've got a Spanish Mauser chambered in 7mm. It was sporterized when I bought it. In pretty shit condition, but I saved it. I reblued the barrel, refinished the stock, and it looks great. I bought it cheap and the rifling in the barrel is perfect. I didn't want to pay for the scope mount so I decided to mount it to the barrel. The stock is cut shorter so it would only be mounted a few inches forward from where the original mount would be. I just can't see spending 75 bucks on the mount. Is a 2-7x32 scope sufficient for 7mm? I think that is an average Mosin scope. Just making sure not to dump money on it and be wrong. The eye relief is the correct length. Just making sure that is right for that caliber.

Those are some nice tools you have there.

I know nikon and leuopold have some long eye relief scopes but they are pricey. I remember seeing somewhere that vortex had one for sub $200 that was in the 4 inch eye relief range. Not sure if you need a deeper eye relief or not.

That's a pretty sweet gun you have there and it sounds like it was well worth the $175

Thanks. I have a few laying around. I make HK clones now and AKs as well as any type of ARs. Bought some jigs years ago for the flats and I mill out receivers.

Yeah I am in the range of 8-10 inch eye relief unfortunately I think.

Yeah it was. It was pretty ugly to begin with, but the rifling and everything was perfect. Very happy with it. Looks like a totally different rifle now. I got a great deal on it. I met a guy recently with some short italian carbinos and some 8mm rifles, but the ammo is too expensive for my taste. I have an 8mm already, but don't shoot it as it is.

I recently got into Unimags. They are ar platform mags that fit multiple calibers all the way up to 458 SOCOM. Pretty great. They run like 20 a piece, but still a good deal. I've got a lot now. They run nice in everything I've tried.
