Amateur Scope Mounting.

[neophyte]

This past year at Sighting In Days at our club we sighted in over 1200 public patrons. Since I ran the activity I took a few interesting pictures.   Here is one for the record........ 'Kitchensink Gunsmithin" .

Just in case you think you have seen it all in slug scope mounts.... On a 1100 trapgun ,full choke.saddle mount base
range 50 yds. 1-1/2" groups at 50 yds with Brenneke K.O.'s
Go figure. He got an eight point last year and a six point 180 lb buck the year before. He considered it his lucky gun.
I never cracked a smile, zeroed him in and wished him luck !.......... By the way it did hold zero.

I couldn't even see what the picture even is.

But I once made a scope mount to hold a Weaver Rail mount - for a old Stevens 22 rifle out of a piece of heavy stainless steel.

The rifle was drilled for side mounts and is very old and nobody made a mount for it anymore.

By notching the holes in the plate, and adjusting it up and down until it got it as parallel as possible to the bore.  It worked for what I wanted it to do.

At 50 yards, it would put 10 shots into a area of the bulls-eye that you could cover with a thin dime.

I just downloaded the picture and ran it through Photoshop and now it looks like a Weaver Rail mount or a Cantilever scope mount - and two Stainless Steel hose clamps.

Nobody is that poor.

The one thing I have to think about is how you get it to sit level on the mount if the trunnion goes the whole way around the scope.

To bad he couldn't get those cool rings in matte to match the gun...

Those must be a new lightweight detachable ring system, with infinite adjust-ability??

[Keith L]

I wonder if he lapped them?
