Hi Folks,
I am new here. This is my first post. I have an old Remington 514 single shot rifle. I just purchased a Weaver N2 side mount for it. I have a Weaver B6 scope that I am going to use. I got the N2 mount because it is vintage and will match the era of the gun. I need to drill and tap the holes to mount the scope. It looks straight forward: Clamp gun, clamp on scope with mount, bore sight, mark and drill holes obviously making sure that I don't go too deep. Tap and mount scope. Have I missed anything? Any other tips? I am also considering boring out the chamber for 22 WMR, (which is another topic I plan to discuss) as the chamber has significant corrosion. (still shoots good though) I use it primarily to test my re-load 22lr.(yet another topic) I also plan to re-load the 22WMR in the future. I have read a lot of good stuff on THR and look forward to learning and chatting with you folks.
