Mossberg 151k Scope/Bipod Question

Hey this is my first post here so forgive me if I'm asking something completely stupid lol.

I just got a Mossberg 151k .22 cal rimfire rifle. I love it I've shot it a few times no problems with jamming or anything.

First of all I want to get a scope for it and I was wondering if anyone has any advice for scope style and what not. I believe it is a dovetail type rail on the receiver of the rifle but I would like to know if anyone had an idea on what it would be. I know this question will come up so here is the answer: I will be using it for plinking and maybe varmint hunting, groundhogs are bad news.

Secondly I've been looking and looking and this is what I worry is the stupid part. I would like to put a bipod on it. Sadly there isn't a stud or anything on the wooden stock. So what comes to mind is either a barrel mounted bipod or improvising some kind of bipod that I can fasten directly to the wood stock.

I know this is a great rifle from what I've seen and read if I take care of it, it will last me for a lifetime or two. That's pretty good for a rifle made in between 1950 - 1951. Please don't flame me for wanting to make this a rifle i could be proud of and pass down my family.

Thanks,
Eisotope
 
That's a cool auto dude, I wrote a thread on one that I have called "Lipstick on a Pig". (you can look it up on the search part of this forum) It has the regular "rimfire-rifle" grooves for proper scope mounting on the reciever. Mine shoots very nice with the open sights, even for me, I'm going naturally blind at 48 years old. I love my rifle and wouldn't consider getting rid of it for anything. If I was going to scope mine, I'd go to the local Bass-Pro and mill around the ring section and check prices on some QUALITY rings. And if I wasn't satisified I'd go to Midway USA, andf give ole Larry a try. But I wouldn't spend one dollar on junk rings to save my momma, I'd go with a Quality for shore!!! And spending a few extra bucks on quality glass for that baby would also be my goal. Like I said I love my Mossberg 151K,:) PS Nuhmrich Gun Parts.com has parts, also there is another source of Mossberg parts here in Missouri but its name eludes me at this time ,,,sorry:o Get a set of shooting sticks and learn to shoot off them.:)
