Would an 11" long scope be in the way of the regular bolt when using this scope mount?? And is 4" of eye relief enough??

I would say at least 6" eye relief, and you should be able to off set the scope enough to work. The solution is getting the bent bolt then you could get away with a 4" relief.

I had a 5" eye relief on it.at.one time and that was almost too close to the bolt.

it is the eye relief that is the issue. use a pistol scope or buy the Rock solid industries mosin mount. must be drilled and tapped

You can mount a 11" long scope on it without it interfering it all come to the eye relief. I tried a 3.5" with no luck and ended up getting a bent bolt to install.

For proper eye relief you should use one of offset mounts, like the Burris PEPR or Vortex mount; it will not be above the sight, but at magnification you won't see it.

It will probably be too tall. I love the riser though. I needed to get my scope off the upper rail just high enough to be able to put the scope protective caps on. Works like a champ and brings it up to eye level for me. Maybe consider ditching the iron sights you have now and switch to magpuls offset sights. Little pricy but that's what I did. Hope this helps good luck.

it should be fine. it's not completely tall enough, but with a scope the worst you might get is a slight blurring of the sight at the bottom of it. most likely you will not see it. I eventually removed the front sight block and but a gas block with a short rail section on, I wanted offset sights so I could tilt the rifle and use iron sights if the shot was to close.

Once you remove the sight completely ,there is a dove tail mount available. you will need a long eye releif scope, this mount will place the scope about 6" further up the barrell than a regular scope. Unless you change the bolt this is your only option, even after you change the bolt, and locate the scope in @ it's usual position, you have to give up the clip aqction and the rifle become a single shot, as now the scope is in the way.... nothing is ever easy????? here is what I did for whatever it is worth , bought the ZSUN optics specialty mount@ 8" long, turned it around and mounted a 2X red dot.... I am very happy with this configuration and would recommend giving it a try.

Long eye relief (not an expert here) and I don't know if it can be mounted without a rail

I think it would be fine. You need dovetail mount for this. I have this on a air pistol and you can hold it away from your eye 6 inches without any problems.

11 mm would be approximately 1/4" too wide for these rings. Another thing to consider is the diameter of the objective lens of your scope, and clearance between it and the rifle barrel.

personally I used a redfield revenge 4-12x42 on my m44 and a leopold 6-18x40 on a friends 91/30. however you WILL need to aquire a bent bolt for either one of these scopes and minor dremeling was required.option #2 is to put a short eye relief scope on and leave the bolt factory.also it all depends on what you are trying to do with the weapon. weather you trying to shoot 50 yards or 500 yards will make a big difference on scope size and type.

I mounted one on a Ruger GP100 with a 4" barrel. The scope was a bit overwhelming on such a short barrel. It might work with a 6" or longer barrel. I ended up removing it and went with Williams Firesight fiber optics instead.

The mount is about 4.5" long. As long as you have a long enough dovetail on your gun it should work fine.

I think it depends on the mounts. The bolt on my 223 hit the scope so I had to get higher mounts. There might be a site like techsales@opticsplanet.com that might tell you which mounts to use.

unsure tom, but i have a see thru mount to allow a scope and iron sights at the same time, they work well set at 50yds for me with it, and i imagine the clearances would be the same for you. i would suggest a different mount personally.

Hi, Your eye should rest against the "eye piece". There is no eye relief as one rifle scope.

if your scope has 40 objective lens i feel the 1" mount will be to high it needs to be as close to the barrel as possible for beter adjustment from scope to barrel sighting for point of impact.

Should be fine... its the height of the scope that has the clearance problem. I use a 1" riser

To whom it may concern. Do not buy this scope. Despite what I said in other reviews I have come to find this thing to be a POS. It broke very soon after a few rounds. I sent it back and they replaced it and that one broke as well. You will need to spend at least $140 to get a long eye relief scope that will stand up to the Mosin. Hope this helps. Doc
