In addiiton, the Lyman 48 slide was usually removed when the scope was mounted and a dummy slide replaced it. The removed 48 slide was often stored in a trapdoor butt plate. A reasonable scope mount height and good check weld resulted from the lack of need to clear the peep sight.

In this case, the customer may have had different ideas and requested the set-up as we see it.

My point exactly. This is a roughly contemporaneous G&H and the difference in the scope height is striking as well as puzzling.

That's a low comb stock hence the lower mount.My rifle's comb is much higher and straight and with a firm cheek your dead center in the scope. [img:center][/img]
