Default newbe,151mb

Hi, new to this forum and hope I can be of service to someone in the future with my somewhat limited knowledge.
For now I have a question. Just picked up a pretty nice Mossberg 151mb with the peep sights. I would like to have the correct scope for the gun, can anyone tell me what to look for.
Thanks

Congrats on the Mossberg, you will want to go over to www.rimfirecentral.com and check out the Mossberg section there, the people there are hardcore Mossberg addicts and great people.
There is a great brain trust of Mossberg knowledge there.

My Best, John K

thanks guys, the search is on for the scope. I took the gun to the indoor range (25yds) and with the excellent peep sights shot several nickle size groups with Winchester target ammo.

Most likely be a Mossberg #4 scope, but do ask at rimfire central, there is also an info section at the tp of the Mossberg section with info on scopes and most everything else.

I just ask the same question and Mossberg directed me to: cheryl@havlinsales.com
It is as they said a Mossberg M4 with M4 scope rings. I just bought one like new for $125.00 on ebay. That is the exact price Cheryl said they were going for now days. I also have the S130 peep sights for mine, they run around $50-$65. I now need the steel front and rear sights but I am not sure which ones they are. I could use help there also. The pictures I have seen show two different ones on a M (b).
