    Weaver base on Rossi lever action

    Anyone made a small weaver style base that will fit on the barrel of a Rossi 44 lever action? Need to mount a red dot as my eyes are no good for the open sights these days. Thanks

    Ordered mine a few minutes ago, $67.50 with post. Some helpful advice on the old Hunting and Shooting at times.

    Are you sure? I poked a torch at the holes to be sure. Tapped alright.

    Pics as requested @The bomb

    I had sight mounted at the back of the rail. Also did a fair bit of work to the action... made a hell of a difference. If you want to know what I did PM me. Bit to much to write here.....k
