If your mount (whatever one you choose) overhangs the rear of the dovetail, you will need to file the ramp down so that the action closes completely and easily. This may help with ideas. I have a few options here and have done a few if you want help. Low is better, but watch eye relief. With a normal length scope you may find you have to remove the open sights. Most of the one piece ones are a bit high, there are some low ones around.

Nice one. Just bumping this from ages ago...do you know of any particular red dot that works well with a Baikal dovetail? Shooting out to 250m?

Red dot and 250metets don't go in same sentence....

I would suggest having a pic rail machined to fit over the Baikal dovetail to cover it, and screwed down with maybe 3 screws. It will help gain some height for your red dot as most of them sit lower than your average scope. I've shot some very small groups with a red dot at 100 metres, would be happy to use it to 200 if needed. Just gotta make sure your dot is big enough to see, yet small enough to be accurate at the range you wanta shoot. The one I was using was 2moa.

This is zeroing my 308 Henry with a Holosun. 2 moa dot, so you have to match the target to the dot, but capable of reasonable accuracy. Target was shot at 50m.
