My 12C .... scope options...

[pimpskillet]

Pretty straight forward.... I want to put a "little" scope on this guy, but I don't want anything drilled into the furniture, nor am I about to machine anything into the barrel. Soooo.... considering I'm somewhat of a noob at mounting scopes on old rifles, what kind of options or things should I be looking at?

TIA

No machining, no drilling your only option is super glue wich will not work.

Duct tape

I think duct tape will work but you have to make sure the ejection port isn't blocked...............seriously...no kidding...I mean it!

I cannot understand why people want to scope these fine old .22 rifle. They were designed to kill squirrels up in tall trees,with the iron sights that are on them!

Oh I know quite well how straight she shoots as is now. I was just curious with good ammo, how good she is beyond 100 yards. That's why I also don't want to drill and tap anything.

Now here is where some of you lost me.... you guys are saying I can't fab up some sort of bracket that I could screw down using say the two rear screws that hold the stock to the reciever. Then maybe fab something for the front.... I dunno.... what I do know, is I have seen one or two with a scope on them, but I can't recall how they were mounted... I want to say the one was a side mount of sorts...

No that wont work. There is only 1 screw on the reciever and you will need atleast 2 points of contact to keep the mount from moving.

Like you Ive seen scopes mounted on they aswell, but they were drilled and tapped.

I think I may have figured something that might work... Pics will be up here after I get all these off from the Children's museum today..
