03A3 No D&T Scope Mount Options?

[kmad2001]

Hello, I am interested in scoping an 03A3 (Smith Corona in a CStock). Other than hitting a 12” gong at 100 , 200 (and rarely 300) yds I can’t really hit much else or put meaningful groups together because my eyes are getting worse and worse. So I mainly shoot scoped milsurp type stuff. Unfortunately the Springfield usually stays at home when I go to the range and I have a crap tone of 30-06. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to acquire some scoped wartime bolt rifles such as a few PU Snipers, I cloned up a Balkan War era M48 wi ZRAK ONM76 scope with period correct swing mounts (tack driver!!!) and some other things. I did try a no D&T S&K Insta mount on a 1965 7.62NATO Ishapore Enfield but it groups like a shotgun. I don’t know if it’s the mount or the bore.

I’m certainly not trying to clone an 03A4 or make a permanent “bubba” mod to her. Anyway I’d like to try one of these mounts and wonder if anyone has any experience with em or has another option for a no D&T mount option.
