It is all aethetics or does form still follow function in priorities?



Just aesthetics and originality. When the rifle left G&H, it most likely had a G&H side mount with likely a Zielklien mounted hi enough that the original bolt was not modified. At least that is the way most of these are found. Many will also have target blocks on the receiver ring and barrel for an external adjustment scope. Unfortunately the ring on this one was drilled for the incorrect spacing.
