Author Topic: Scout scope mount for taurus M72 .22WMR pump????? (Read 1413 times)

I recently purchased a taurus model 72 pump in .22 mag recently. I love it. I intend this to be my squirrel rifle. I have this idea of mounting a long eye relief scope on the thing. Can't put a standard scope on it cause it's a top eject. Anybody have any idea of a mount for this thing?

I doubt if anyone makes one. You may have to make one yourself. I am thinking maybe a Ruger 22 MK 11 pistol scope mount the one that fits the dovetail for the rear sight and then has a collar that fits over the barrel. Not sure who makes these maybe bsquare but I had one on a MKII Gov and it worked well it is not a bad mount. You may have to shim the collar but I bet that may work. You would also have to cut for the tube . Jim

If you get the sight from Tarus, just know that it replaces the rear sight. You remove it and it just screws into a hole they have in the barrel.

I cannot see how one screw will hold every thing in place??? Most all rail scope mounts should have at least 3 screws to keep them rock solid. Here is their link Jim

Don't I feel like an idiot. It never occured to me to look there. Thanks for the help. For a backup rear sight I've got a flip up tang aperture sight.
