Scope base & rings
Match the base to this action's footprint, then pick ring height for your objective diameter.
Riflescope
A 3–9x or 2.5–10x covers nearly all hunting distances and keeps weight down.
Sling
Carry side is personal — a simple two-point sling works from either shoulder.
38-55 WIN ammunition
Most rifles shoot one load noticeably better than the rest — buy a few boxes before committing.
Hard case
Required for airline travel and worth it for any drive to a hunt.
