scope mounts for Remington 580
« on: October 19, 2003, 01:39:39 PM »
I have a single-shot bolt action .22 Remington model 580 that I'd like to put a scope on, but it isn't tapped for bases, but appears to have integral mounts, kind of like a Ruger.  What rings would fit these mounts, and please don't tell 3/4" rings!

If it has two "grooves" cut into the top of the receiver which I think it does it takes what is known as a "tip off" base which is in reality a base and ring combination. Most of the major ring makers make them. I think they are called 5/8" that being the width of the groove?
