Need wheelgun scope mount - not drilled or tapped.

[Lightsped]

Here is a pic of the Taurus wheelgun I would like to mount a scope on. I don't want to have to drill or tap the gun. What are my alternative solutions with scope mounts?

You could braze a weaver base to it....

Braze? What is that? The bottom line for me is that I want a scope mount solution that will not cause me to drill, tap, or alter the gun in anyway.

Thanks

Weaver mount system

Weaver makes a pistol mount system that does not require drilling or tapping. It uses the rear sight hole and has a clamp for the barrel. See

The rear sight mount looks a little weak for mounting a whole scope. I'd want something with a little more skookum.

Is there a reason you don't want to drill and tap this 44SS6?

Will this Weaver mount definately fit my gun? Is this Weaver mount a universal fit for most revolvers?

Oh, my gun is a 12" barreled Taurus 980 .22LR. (See my topic in the wheelgun section).

you'll be alright on a 22.

Check out B-Square. They make several mounts that fit Taurus .22 revolvers, and they don't require gunsmithing. I'm using a B-Square mount on a Mod 29 Smith. No gunsmithing required, just removal of the rear sight. (This is an old Mod 29, that isn't drilled and tapped for scope mount.)
