    Weaver base on Rossi lever action

    Anyone made a small weaver style base that will fit on the barrel of a Rossi 44 lever action? Need to mount a red dot as my eyes are no good for the open sights these days. Thanks

    Ordered mine a few minutes ago, $67.50 with post. Some helpful advice on the old Hunting and Shooting at times.

    Are you sure? I poked a torch at the holes to be sure. Tapped alright.

    Yes, have to have great belief in the "almighty" to go there.

    I have a weaver rail on mine, but due to the tapper in the barrel, the rail points down hill??? I think the rail is a weaver 92A.

    The gunworks ones are machined to match the barrel shape and taper exactly. Mine was a perfect fit.
