I had a Sheridan Silver Streak that I mounted a scope onto using a clamp that goes around the .20 cal. barrel and has a 3/8” dovetail on top. Simple enough eh? Does anyone make something like this for those older side-selector 24’s that are not grooved?

Grumpy old guy here; why in pluperfect hell-o would you want to ruin a perfectly fine firearm by putting a scope on a gun that was designed elegantly to be used with an open sight? What am I missing here?!

What am I missing here?! I guess you're missing my simple question. A clamp on mount can be removed. I guess enough people wanted to put a scope on their M24 to give the manufacturer the idea that to put grooves on the barrel. I even have one with a base for a scope. Bet a person can do better with a .22 Hornet and a scope when their target is 150 yds.away. So actually, no thanks to you, I found one. My 71 yr. old eyes will appreciate it. Give an old guy a break,for crying out loud! |

I once attempted to 'make-do' with a scope base mounted to a the barrel on a Rossi Puma lever action. Scout mount. Did not work worth a hill of beans - even with light recoil from .357 magnum, there was slight movement and precision was no better than those obtained with factory irons. It was removed.
I agree with vancmike above - these guns (especially rimfire) work well with the factory sights. A worthwhile upgrade might be an aperture sight. If your mounts works, then I'm glad. Please post your results from this.
Fwiw, I did mount a Bushnell red dot sight on a Savage 94 30-30 / 12 gauge, but it had its factory scope base and the sights mounted just fine. It will make a fine feral hog rifle.

What did you find and where did you find it?? |

Lot of us on this site are aging gracefully (or maybe not). I'm 78 and don't have any issues using iron sights. But I'm lucky: cataract surgery on both eyes did. wonders!
