Would it be realistic to use a EER scope to retain the original safety on a VZ24 or am I better off just swapping in a Gentry?

Thanks, John

i think you're approaching it backwards as depends on what you want the rifle for.

if you want a scout type rifle or just like the looks/balance of EER's they yes you can retain the original safety. and i realize i'll be in left field here but they don't bother me at all.

however, replacement safeties are cheap (all current fashion aside, you don't have to have a winchester m70 type safety for it to still be a perfectly acceptable rifle) so working the scope around the safety is kinda false economy.

the mausers i make for myself w/ open sights i leave the GI safety as is and am perfectly happy. 'course i also like the 2-stage trigger pull once worked over a little so what do i know.

It is not the money or the 3-pos I just like the original.. I guess I will try it out after I get it back from surface grinding then decide.

Thanks, John

Id just get a 3 position, 2 postion, or a wing safty like a Williams and use a regular scope. but you will have to turn the bolt down.

I might add that if you use an eer scope you probably don't need to grind the action as they can be barrel mounted right...
