I’m building a sporter for my sister and she’d like a scope on it. My receiver is already D&T’d for a Weaver N series mount but I’m not sure which to use. My stock is a sporter stock with a high comb so the sight level is fairly high relative to an original. Ideally I’d go with an N3 in hopes it would clear the stock safety / bolt while still allowing spent cases to eject cleanly. The N2 mounts lower so I assume I’ll need a low scope safety.

Can someone provide pictures / pros / cons / feedback on whether an N2 or an N3 is better on a sporter Krag?

Also, I’d like to use a small diameter 3/4” scope like a Weaver 330 / J2.5  or Higgins 4x. Has anyone used something like these on a Krag? Can anyone provide feedback / comments / thoughts on how they worked?

Thanks in advance for the help.
