OK, so I'm not sure if this truly belongs in C+R, Bolt rifle, or Smithy forums; but I thought this would be the place to get the best answers.
I have Yugo Kar98 Mauser and am toying with the idea of building it into a reproduction sniper version to resemble the German sniper rifles of WW2.
As far as I can figure a ZF39 scope is what I should get. But should it be with a side mount or standard rings on top?
Would I need to modify the bolt handle or safety as well?
I've been doing some research but it's hard to find out exactly what I need to consider with the build
I don't have a ton of money to spend and don't want to modify too much on the rifle. Just trying to decide if I should go ahead with the project or not.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Sources?
Thanks
