Seeking oddball scope mount. (reply)

Hoot, I have one of those, BUT it is a proprietary mount for a J.C. Higgins (High Standard, made for Sears) .22 rifle and is a nonstandard dovetail size that don't match any other dovetail made in the history of mankind. Sears Roebuck was screwy like that back in the '50s when this was made.

I finally got tired of looking through the little 3/4 inch scope and mounted a 1" 4X on the gun. Took about 2 days of shimming and J-B Weld and looked like hammered hell when I got through, but the scope is still on there.

Thank you Bud. (reply)

Folks,

Not trying to teach my Grandma to suck eggs or anything but, way back when, there were a number of scopes which did not use scope rings. Instead, they had a dovetail rail on the bottom. There was the Coltmaster, the Bushnell Custom...both intended for .22's as well as a European scope maker that I don't recall which could be used on higher power rifles. There may have been more but that's all I've seen to date.

I am in search of the clamp/mount which would secure a dovetailed scope to a grooved .22 receiver. Any leads are appreciated.

Thank you!
