Thread: Single shot scope mounting

I have a few options here and have done a few if you want help. Low is better, but watch eye relief. With a normal length scope you may find you have to remove the open sights. Most of the one piece ones are a bit high, there are some low ones around.

the 2nd one works just great,with added bonus being one piece the rings HAVE to be aligned properly.
