Does anyone have a theory about the unusually high scope mount?It was not unusual for pre-War G&H Springfields to have the scope mounted high enough that it cleared the Lyman 48 rear sight and made altering the bolt handle unnecessary, but I have never seen a Model 70, let alone a post-War Model 70, treated that way.

Maybe the original scope had a much larger objective?
