How to Mount a Mosin Nagant Russian 91/30 Rifle Pu Sniper Scope

The Mosin-Nagant rifle, equipped with a 91/30 PU scope, was an exceptionally effective sniper rifle during the Second World War. By mounting a 91/30 PU scope to your rifle you can enjoy the same reliability and accuracy for your hunting or sport shooting needs. Due to the popularity of Mosin-Nagant rifles 91/30 PU scopes are again being produced. The scopes come with scope mounts already attached. However, to attach the scope to the rifle you must have screw holes drilled and tapped into the left side of the receiver.
