Does anyone know if someone makes a scope base and rings for a Thompson Center Hawken, also Renegade? I got notice that Wideview is going out of business and has nothing in stock. I'm pushing 69 and need a scope. Thanks.

Go to https://www.ironsighter.com
They have a scope base that reportedly fits on to the screw holes of the rear sight base of the TC Hawken after it has been removed.
They sell the base with or without rings and also have see through mounts.
Clicking on Browse categories, then muzzle loaders, then TC Hawken reveals this page of options for the TC Hawken:

They also offer an option for the Renegade on this page:

Another product that I've seen but that's not simply a "scope base" per se are see thru mounts by Kwik Site.

You can also find various electronic sights that have crosshair reticles as well as dots of various sizes.
Although they don't offer magnification, they are lightweight and have unlimited eye relief.
The tube type electronic dot sight can often be mounted with a single ring if needed (as regular scopes can too).
Please let us know how it all works out and good luck.

Arcticap,
I sent an e-mail to Ironsighter. Their ad says the SKU385 base and ring set is for a New Englander, but the description says it's for a Hawken. Before I order I want to make sure it will fit a Hawken. It looks right, but you know how that goes. I'll add more info here when they contact me. Thanks very much!
