  Simplest would be to replace the rear sight with a forward (or "scout") mount and a long eye relief (pistol) scope.
  The other way requires making up a side mount off the receiver and replacing the bolt handle with one that has a 90deg bend (there are kits available that have all the pieces included)

  Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

  As stated, B Square makes a mount that installs on the rear sight frame. That's the cheapest and easiest way - no gunsmithing or drilling/tapping of the action.

  Advanced Technology make the one that mounts to the top of the receiver. This mount requires drilling the receiver. Comes with the bits,tap,bent handle,screws & instructions. The bolt handle is held on with a screw also. I have seen them welded & it looks good. The hard part is getting the mount squared up on top of the receiver & clamped in place.
