I had asked you guys for insight on how to attach a scope without paying 80 bucks for the normal mount for this 1926 Spanish Mauser chambered in 7mm. Since it was modified to be a sporterized rifle before I bought it and the stock was cut like this I ended up going with a barrel mount. The scope is mounted 2-3 inches more forward than it would normally be, but it works great. I leveled it out and everything and it works. Went with a long eye relief of course. Usually not a fan of these rifles besides mosins, but I like this one. Next is to refinish the stock to a chocolate stain with a flat finish. May reblue the barrel one day. Doing okay for a $175 gun

It's pretty far out, can't you just screw it to the wood body? (never had a wood gun, so am not sure what your mounting options are tbh)

It looks farther out than it is and like I said it really is only 2 inches farther than where it should be. I didn't want to do anything else to the stock than what someone else already did.
