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.
