Don't mess with it.
A side mount could be used but you end up with a scope off-set from the bore. You also would take a large chunk of the value of your colectable rifle's value. Prehaps a competent gunsmith could come up with scout rifle arrangement where you would use an extended eye relief scope but again at the expense of losing value from your rifle. I suggest if you just want a shooter with a scope search out a good clean Marlin model 60 with a scope and leave the Winchester as it was meant to be.
