Scope It Up

Many American hunters will want to mount a scope so Pietta facilitates the process with seven tapped and plugged holes on the receiver. Brownells.com had the correct Weaver bases (part # 48470), that are the same ones used on the Browning BAR. I hate to test a rifle without a scope, possibly making it look bad because of my crappy old-man eyesight. Therefore, I installed a nice Vortex Diamondback 1.75 to 5X power scope. This is not one of their premium models but at a price point less than $250, it’s a lot of optic for the money. I believe a powerful semi-auto doesn’t need a scope more than 5X because you want a broad field of view to keep your target in the glass for a quick follow-up shot.
