If you search on the net for an easy and cheap way to install a scout scope this mount is at the top of the heap. Got this for really cheap with a scope+mount bundle here at OP. Removal of the rear sight was only a 10 minute affair on my 1943 MN because during the rush of the war they didn't bother to solder the rear mount to the MN dovetail. After a quick removal of the rear sight, a fast cleaning of the MN dovetail, this mount went on within minutes. At first the Leapers mount appeared to be too wide to grab the dovetail but in fact it tightened down real tight.
Before installing this new mount, I put a piece of masking tape on top of detail, and then temporarily installed the mount. I then screwed in the 2 set screws so they left some marks on the tape. Remove mount, nail set some points at the locations of the set screw marks on the tape, and then drilled some shallow 3/16" holes to accept the set screws. With that all done, the combination of the mount clamp plus the 2 set screws results in a rock tight mount.
The only flaw I could fine was that the two set screws were not in a straight line but that wasn't much of an issue using the masking tape technique.
Pros: Cheap, Offset feature, set screws
Cons: Set screws weren't inline, maybe a little wide?
Would recommend: Yes

Made very well and offers very comfortable eye relief. Installs in seconds and works great with my compact scope. Can't beat the price for what you get.
Pros: Price & Useability

The only really great AND inexpensive solution for scope mounting on a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 or variants. Install a scout scope using this very rigid mount that attaches directly to the barrel (and not to a half disassembled original tangent sight.) That is too many pin connections for me and too much modification of the original sight. This mount in not just for airguns; it has two vertical set screws for preventing fore and aft movement on high-power rifles like the M-N. The .22 cal. 0.375" dovetail mount fits the 0.428 dovetail sight groove on the M-N barrel that holds the original tangent sight. I'm happy.
Pros: High quality and reasonable price = great product
Cons: None.
Would recommend: Yes

Used on an old Mosin M91/30 with a LER scope. Hasn't lost zero once, hasn't came loose at all. Clears the bolt just fine, works on the dovetail underneath the factory rear site.
Pros: Easy to mount, good hardware, hasn't came loose.
Cons: A little ugly looking.
Would recommend: Yes

This little unit did exactly what I needed it to do. It reached back over the extraction port of my old bolt action Mossberg .22 and locked the scope in place perfectly. Looks good too. Highly recommend this scope base for those long stocked rifles.
Pros: For those looong stocked rifles, its great
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes
