Author Topic: Gonna make my own scout mount (Read 571 times)

Just ordered the parts from Brownells today to make my own XS Sights type scope mount for my '94 Big Bore.

Cannot see paying $55 plus shipping. Parts are less than $18 so far and I have to get the front receiver ring drilled and tapped (Had to anyway with the XS), so that is a wash.

I plan on posting all the info in an article on my web sight, once parts arrive. I plan on mounting my red dot scope up front.

I know others have done similar things so it should all work out.

I did this with a NEF Handi-rifle. I used the Burris scout base for the Remington 700. It involved drilling & tapping the barrel which cost me $30 at Pioneer Gunshop in Ketchikan. Several photos are posted on the NEF Singleshot group in Yahoo.

Hey Winter Hawk
I was at your homestead this August. Well, not your house but your town. Nice place you got there. On a cruise and stopped in for a visit. I'd like to take my sons back for a fishin trip some summer.

Can't wait to hear how it turns out. I think a red dot would be quite effective on the old .30-30.

Or .375BB :lol:
