I've got an old model .44 mag Ruger carbine...the tubular load version....I had wanted to put a scope on this piece but local gunsmith says no one makes mounts and rings for this particular rifle...
So, perhaps an Aimpoint or something similar? Anyone with suggestions...THANKS
Weaver makes a two-piece mount. Front is #68, Rear is #47. IIRC, the front one mounts on the barrel. I doubt Weaver will stop making the #47 as it's also the rear base for a Winchester Model 70! The #68 might be a little more rare. Find it Here.
Williams makes the streamlined Top Mount #11 Front and #12 Rear.
Redfield (now Weaver) makes a two-piece base set Model SR-DS or Item #512010. "DS" stands for DeerStalker I think. Find it Here.
