H015 single shot scope mount challenge
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2020 1:14 am
I’ll start with this - I already have a nice Nikon 2X7 shotgun scope mounted on my .243 single shot. Couldn’t be happier with how it shoots. But......
One of the reasons I chose this rifle was the iron sights. Always like to have a plan B. With the current pic rail like the one in the Henry accessory store the irons are, well, useless.
So with “currently” all kinds of extra time and my local outdoor range five minutes away I figured I’d play a bit. Using the current scope I was wondering if I can get a quality, low profile rail and Warne QD’s thus allowing quick removal of the scope and the ability to use the irons - and return the scope retaining at least close to zero (minute of deer vitals
) The key, of course, is the rail. With a 32mm objective and a folding rear sight, high (or extra high QD’s) I should be able to make it happen.
So - all this to ask the question - what rail or base? Many thanks - and my apologies if this has been asked and answered (I did look before posting but didn’t see anything specific).
Stay safe everybody!
