GP 100 Scope base
« on: January 19, 2010, 04:40:20 PM »
Has anyone put a scope base for a scope or red dot on their GP? I thought about trying to find one that doesn't need drilling or tapping.

Will the Redhawk clamp-on sight fit the GP 100......er...anyone?

If I find mine, I will test it out.

Does anyone remember the scene from "Quigley Down Under" showing the aborigines lined up on the skyline as far as you could see?   That needs to be US!

i had that one on my gp100 i wasent a big fan didnt seem that secure id go for one that you have to drill and tap for maybe a little more hassle but worth it imo
common sense is slowly becoming uncommon

Dude, if you want a rock solid mount w/o D&T, then you need to try this mount. D&T doesn't do much for resale value.

Wish I had gone this route, I used a clamp on model for my redhawk, but I should have spent a little extra.

Thanks for the replies guys, that last one doesn't look too bad.I had one on a 357 taurus that was from taurus and it fastened to the vent rib on that pistol and it always worked ok.I sold the gun after finding this GP that a co-worker wanted to sell because I always had wanted a GP in the first place.

I modified a mount I had bought for a Super Blackhawk. Had a 2x Leupold on it.

Mounts at the rear sight and clamps to the barrel, had in on my gun for years kept Zeroed even with hot .357 Hand Loads.

It's a B-square mount the clamps I made out of stainless the originals were aluminum.

Had to sell the GP100 years ago when I needed money and had no job.

Thanks for the replies guys,I shot my gp today at some targets and it was ok but missed having a scope like the taurus.So I ordered the Weigand mount for it because I still have a pistol scope and some rings around here somewhere. ;D Looks like a good solid mount.
