Thread: Any ideas on what I could use for a scope mount?

I've just finished this restore and am now ready to get a scope onto the old girl. 1916 P14 Remmington which was had the ears cut off leaving a nice flat surface on top with a threaded screw hole.



I was hoping to get away with screwing a short picatinny mount onto it and having a scope mount with dual rings.



Do you think that would be strong enough or will it need a hole drilled and tapped further up also.

Cheers
Brad
