I recently acquired a Savage 29A a 22 LR Pump (circa 1939-1940) the scope mount is drilled into the side of action which was typical of the day. The scope has a 3/4" dia, tube and is cloudy. I tried adjusting it at the range a couple of days ago but didn't have any luck. I then removed the base and scope. I tried using the factory irons and had some luck but I'm looking for something better. The tang is drilled and tapped which I'm assuming was for a tang sight. The problem I'm having is in finding a replacement. Marble doesn't list one in their catalog. I was hoping that a sight for another rifle would work. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I go from here?

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
