The Griffin and Howe side mount was a great invention. There was a trap door in the metal buttplate where the Lyman 48 could be stored when using the scope. The two levers on the side mount locked a scope firmly in place returned the scope to zero. A perfect combination. My 7x57 was not fitted with a side-mount so I had to rely on the peep. Much better than irons with aging eyes, but pretty limiting in typical hunting conditions.
