i wouldnt put a pad on it. no offense to anyone but if you cant handle the recoil of a 30-06 then you should just sell your guns and find something else to do with your time. i would on the other hand find a nice vintage scope for it
I think it will be safe to use because if it was one of the unsafe ones it wouldve blown up sometime in the last 100 years you know? if it were mine i would rebuild it.
i need help mounting a scope on an 80 dl. i have a weaver #2 side mount which i was told could go right on but it looks like i would have to cut away some of the stock. is there anything i can do so i dont have to cut the stock? any help is much appreciated.
