Happy New Mosin! I never bothered with the scope thing. I too did not want to drill & tap the receiver. Curious as what you could do?
Reccomend a Scope!
My Mosin's have arrived! I'm picking them up probably on Friday from the FFL.
As many of you know I purchased these as cheap-long range shooters. To go along with "cheap" concept I now need a scope.
I'm planning on mounting it in place of the rear sight, I really dont want to tap and drill into the receiver, so then I would need a long eye relief scope.
Can you guys reccomend one?

The solution is on http://www.tickbitesupply.com/mos.html , item: RI-SCO-M4491SCOUT , it's a scope mount that goes in place of the rear sight.Curly said:Happy New Mosin! I never bothered with the scope thing. I too did not want to drill & tap the receiver. Curious as what you could do?
I'm with you, I don't want to drill into my reciever. I'll pick this up and look into a long eye relief scope. The question is if anyone can suggest one for a reasonable price. 8)
Many pistol scopes offer long eye relief. Try that angle.
In terms of magification specs; what would be decent for 100-200 yards ?Johnc said:Many pistol scopes offer long eye relief. Try that angle.
For target at ranges of 100 or so, you are going to need at least 6x. 200 yards may be difficult with an inexpensive scope , high eye relief and throwing in the pistol criteria. Obviously, most people don't shoot scoped pistols at 200 yards.
I have seen 2-7 pistol scopes under $100.00 with 14" eye relief, you will obviously need more. I would start researching it though.

I edited my initial post, I realize I typed "front" sight, when I meant to type "rear" sight.
Be very careful with either "Cheap" or for pistol scopes as Mosin will have significantly heavier recoil and will damage that scope fast.
