Mounting a Red Dot

[robertbank]

I want to mount a red dot sight on my Puma Rossie. I have one mounted on my Beretta Storm and reallly like the sight. Great for old eyes.:mrgreen:

Any suggestions on how best to go about mounting the sight? Mounts etc. The sight I am looking at is the Vortex Sparc. It comes with mounts for a picatiny rail.

Robert:
I asked the same question and got no responses. I'll be watching your thread with great interest!
I'm afraid we will need the help of a gunsmith or machinist.

I mounted a Red Dot on an old Turk military rifle using a Weaver mount. The Tasco red dot had a lot of raves for its price in Midway and I have two of them that worked. Shot deer with them. On targets they might be a bit wanting as to dot size and color. Some like green for targets. In order to mount it on the Weaver mount whcih should fit the Rossi, I had to use a chain saw file to file in a notch so that the short spacing of the mount would fit. Others have mentioned doing that. I would look at other Red Dots that fit a Weaver, but if you insist on the pictiny mount I have no idea.

If you have new Braztech Rossi's with round barrels they are D&T'd under the rear sight leaf for a scout type scope mount . Taurus sells them direct or you can buy them from Bus gun shop.

I have a cheap pistol scope mounted on mine right now for load development.

Great!

Thanks for the reply. I'll look for them. Canada Post will be delivering the gun on Friday or I get my postage back. Coming from P.E.I. and I am on the other side of the continent.
