Man, I dropped this in the wrong forum and have no idea how to delete this. Ok, here's the deal. I am mounting a scope (actually re-mounting) for my boss to his .17 HMR Taurus pump. This whole mount system seems like an afterthought to the gun. Obviously, oops we made an open-sight rifle and now people want scopes. The mount attaches by removing the rear sight and inserting a specially made "nut" that only a single screw fits to. This locks the weaver rail down. He took it to a gunsmith here and the guy wouldn't even do the job, which I thought was rather snobby. Anyways, has anyone seen or run into this before? Is there a better option? Don't mind the CETME, not part of this. That's for later.
