Some advise please

[justwannano]

I'm gonna put a scope on my mauser.
It will be mounted on the rear sight.
I think I'm looking for a long eye relief pistol scope but thats about all I know.

There sure seem to be a lot of red dots out there.Do I want one?

I wear glasses and have a touch of cataracts but the eye doctor said it is so minor he wouldn't even diagnose it.

So watdaya guys think?

If you put a good quality red-dot on, and not a cheapie you should be fine. But the red dots, I think, don't really magnify. I know the soho's don't

But under any circumstance, I need magnification, because with my wimpy eyes I can't even see a 6" ring through a peep sight at 100 meters.

What exactly do you plan to use the old 98er for? (assuming it is a 98 )

[justwannano]

I'm needing the magnification too.
Its a small ring 7mm.
It'll be used on coyotes.
I bought it many years ago. Its a partially sporterized spanish 96 I think.
The coyotes around here are getting pretty bold and the dogs barking all night every night is getting to be too much.
I have my homemade ghillie siut ready and now need the scope and warmer weather,I've turned into a wimp, and I'll be able to try calling. I don't know of anyone around here that calls.Definately something different for me.
