Swiss K31

 That old Swiss K31 is near the top of my list of favorite old military rifles. I put an aperture rear sight on it years ago, but never shot it much because of aging eyes. Recently I installed a scope base where the rear iron sight was, and then attached an old Tasco 1.25-4X pistol scope. The eye relief of that pistol scope is a bit too long with it mounted centered over the iron sight location. So I bought an extra low cantilever ring set to move the scope towards the muzzle, that will not fit the base in the position I need. Also, outside to outside distance of the rings is too long for the scope. So I need to modify the base, the ring set or buy a different scope. I ordered a different scope with a shorter eye relief, but may still need to modify one or both of the other two.

Will just have to see how it works out.,
