Scope on a Sauer combo gun
« on: January 12, 2005, 06:32:36 AM »
I have a JP Sauer combo gun in 16 gauge over 7x57R.  I would like to mount a scope on it.  I have a mount, which I believe is made by Redfield, consisting of a bar that lies on the top rib of the gun.  On the base of the bar at the front, is a dovetail that fits into the dovetail slot on the rib that the fixed sight sits in.  The back of the bar is fixed to the rib by means of a screw which attaches the bar to the rib.  On the top of the bar, is a pivot mounting system for attaching rings.

My question is this.  Has anyone heard of an after-market, scope mounting system loosening the rib on a combo gun under recoil?  Does anyone have a better idea, short of installing claw mounts at half the price of the gun?

I use the B-Square airgun scope mounts on my 30-06/12 ga combo gun.  These are the dovetail mounts recommended by EAA, the importer.  I have banged the heck out of the scope, mounts and gun without any problems.  Good luck..
