I have a 8 year old 10/22 and over time the scope mount screws were stripped from changing to diffrent mounts then were retapped with bigger holes well they are stripped again because tonight I put a bull barrell on it so no need for the see thru mounts but when I took them off the threads came out, I think the holes have been tapped out to the biggest ones possible. So my ? is what are my choices can I make new holes for the mounts or would that make the receiver to weak with all the holes, as for looks the old holes would be coverd up with the mount or do I have any other choices. Thanks any help would be great.
