Not worth it. Do that and you get all the issues of side loading rifles. The trick is to angle it just enough for the scope to fit and not a minute more.


It's all or nothing. Having a diagonal magazine goes against everything I stand for. It's disgusting.

There a few things you could try: an offset scope. Maybe not ideal honestly likely to be better than other solutions, a long eye relief scope that sits forward of the action ie a "scout scope", a super short eye relief scope that sits behind the pop up area on the rear of the receiver or on the stock ala ye olde long range sights. Short eye relief scopes are pretty funky and don't induce the most natural of shooting positions. The final option is to rotate the action 90 degress to the right and keep a bottom mounted mag iirc this was one of the things the Swiss did with thier luger rifle thingies.

Rotating their actions in the stock is an old favorite of the Swiss, they did it for the ZfK 55 too.

How feasible would a toggle lock with two or three joints be? Wondering if a biathlon rifle could take a larger cartridge.

I should clarify--instead of a lock that bends into a V-shape, a toggle lock that bends into an N- or even an M-shape when compressed.

I'll probably not bother then. After all, who needs optics when you're cool

One other opinion would be a prismatic scope that's inline in front of the action but steps to the side.

The cartridges ejecting straight up and the toggle lock would prevent a scope being in the usual position and apparently offset scopes are shit. I can't google "where does the scope go on a luger rifle"

Mount it in front of the action.

It will be shit but that's about the only way you'll be able to get it to work.
