I want to mount a scope on my mod 68. I don't want to drill & tap it. I plan on removing the rear sight, and fitting a bolt in the dove tail. Then bolting the mount down, glue/epoxy the mount. The mount will be forward of the bolt/chamber. I want to know what mount will fit the curve of the receiver. Any help?

I don't know....it looks like you'll be gluing the mount to the barrel. You'll have to experiment. |

Best thing to do, is forget mounting a scope and ruining the rifle, and buy something like a Savage that will readily take a scope.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I concur. This is a Winchester. It will have a collectable value if it stays in the original configuration. A savage will likely be a much better shooter. A scope will improve the savage rather than destroy its value. No way other than drilling and taping would a mount be secure enough that it would be stable or strong enough to make a scope accurate on the Winchester.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I have a model 41 Remington that shoots great with irons and mounting a scope is the same issue as yours. I would shoot it as is and look for another scope friendly gun.
