Red Dot question?
1 - 10 of 10 Posts
what type of bases are on your rimfire? does it have the reciever drilled and tapped already for bases? reason i ask is, most of the red dots have the weaver style mounts already attached. if you have a grooved reciever, then you would need a mount that converts from grooved to a weaver style. i would think whatever one that you can see well would work just fine and i can't see spending a fortune on one for a rimfire.
Axxe,
It's a marlin 60SB with the grooves. I may consider a weaver style base at some point... I think I've seen some that are specifically meant for rimfires, but I can't recall how they needed to be mounted. Thanks for the reply.

The Weaver bases and rings are designed to accommodate scopes with one inch tubes. They work pretty well and are easy enough a caveman can do it. I'm proof...I used them to put a regular scope on my .22mag. The down side is all 22 rifles have the grooves in different configurations based on ejection port location. It might be a good idea to see where the rings would line up on your rifle and compare that to where the scope would fit. You may not get the scope/red dot in the exact location you want. While my 3-9x40 works okay on my 22mag it sits a little too far forward for my taste, but I can live with it.

I prefer the Reflex Red Dot. I have 3 and I like them. Mine are made by Sightmark. I bought them at Dunham's for less than $50 ea. The on-line review at that time was 4.2 stars. The one that I put on my cross bow required a set of adapter to convert it from 22 grove to Weaver Base. A second one went on my Ruger Mark II with a Weaver Rail made to fit.
Just my $.02. I put the third one on my CVA 50 cal. muzzle loader.

okay, Bearhands has a M60 with the grooved reciever. i believe there is a mount that uses the grooves to mount it and convert it to weaver style rings. i found two different ones that might for what you intend on doing. one is made by Weaver, PN# 48202 that uses the tip-off mounts. the other is made by Ironsighter PN# 624M, that converts from grooved 3/8" reciever to weaver style bases. i found both of these at MidwayUSA.com and i use them all the time with confidence. they have excellent service and prices, and shipping is pretty fast also. on the red dot i use on my AR, the mounts are made directly on the red dot and made for weaver style bases. now if the red dot uses a ring instead, then just use rings made for a grooved reciever and it should work fine.

I bought the 3/8" to Weaver adapter blocks at Dunham's along with the Reflex sight for my cross-bow.
Need to mention. The only dislike about the Reflex is finding the Dot when it's mounted on a pistol. No problem on a rifle because your cheek weld lines you up with the sight. But, with a pistol, I sometimes have to hunt for the Dot.

I had looked at one of the green laser sights on one site, and they suprisingly are not that high.

F.YI. U best look again at vendor if u r shopping for green laser. The green laser is the only way too go where even in slight cloudy days u can sight in 25 yards with no problem. Furthermore, I own a laser max that even fits on my compact gun and weight is very lite n unit itself is small enough not to protrude. Mind u that u get what u pay for n it don't come cheap unless u r a military man in service.
