What rifle is it? There are all sorts of mounts available.

I had a rifle once that had one of those old single power target scopes on it. It was very long. I would think that a talk with a gunsmith would lead to drilling and tapping for a modern base. Or, post some pictures here for some precise opinions.

We might be able to help more, if you post a clear picture of the rifle.
