Attachment 116668
I am thinking of putting a scope on my Ruger #3
It is D&T in the barrel from the factory (I assume).
I'd prefer steel mounts, and the only mounts I am able to 'easily' find are Alum weaver two pc bases and the catalog states shimming is probably required. I suspect the barrel profile from one caliber to another is different...This 22 hornet has quite a taper and where the rear base mounts is quite a bit higher than where the front base will mount.
Also, I've read that with this type of barrel mount, I'd need a lot of eye relief in the scope...or some set-back adaptors...then I'd inhibit access to chambering a round of ammo.
Anyone ever tackle this ? and have some guidance for me ?
Or should I keep this an Iron sight gun ?
Thanks,
Jon
