I've been following some auctions on gunbroker and saw some rifles with unusual scope mounts and thought I would put them up here for discussion, hoping that others might know more. 220 SwiftOn this rifle, I find the mount unusual, the safety is very unusual and the tachometer mounted in the stock very strange. bizarre 1903

1903 is indeed strange. But that is a thermometer on the stock. Not a tach.

I think the swift is a very interesting rifle. When I first looked I thought it was one of the O’Neal scope mounts with the “figure 8” front ring that went around the barrel and scope tube and had the thin ring on the bridge that captures the ocular bell.

The Model 70 has had a very hard life. I wonder how many 4100 fps Swift loads it has digested?

Both are neat, unusual mounts. No idea why the '03 Springfield has a thermometer ((not tachometer) mounted to the stock? That's just weird.

I thought so too about the Swift, especially after seeing the cloverleaf tang. I wonder how much weight that mount adds to the rifle.
