Scope for my K-22

[6Gunslinger]

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a scope for my K-22 but need some assistance. I only own handguns right now but will probably eventually get into sniper rifles, etc. but for right now I think a scope on my .22 will be fun to practice long range bench rest type shots with.

I don't want to have to drill and tap if possible since I'm dealing with a vintage Smith, but I heard that some mounts utilize the rear sight mount, is this true? Also.... what type of scope would you guys recommend? I realize that is like asking a car guy what type of motor oil is best but I am completely new to scopes so any info will help.

thanks ahead of time.

Bump 'cause I'd like to know the answer to this question too.

Weaver makes one, but I've only used a B-Square on a Model 17. Here's the Weaver to give you an idea.

There's also one on that page that comes with rings.

I'm still looking for a pic of the B-Square. I have one on a Model 17 with an old 2x Burris pistol scope. I have a K-frame .17 HMR that I'll probably put a Weaver, Burris or Leupold scope on, but it's drilled and tapped with a Weigand mount on it. I haven't decided whether to go with a 2x or a small variable.

I downloaded the B-Square catalog and I don't see the one I'm looking for, the one with the clamp on the front. I think this is it and they only have one.

According to the directions on the bottom of the page this b-square mount will fit the pre-93 S&W.

Drilling and tapping 2 holes will cost around $30 or $40 dollars the last time I looked, so it could be cheaper to d&t and buy a less expensive mount.

The B-Square mount John showed you, doesn't need D&T.
www.aimtech-mounts.com also offers a "no gunsmith" mount. "Smith & Wesson "K" frame black,..AMSK-1 ...63.25 all models"

any idea on how much it costs?

IIRC... C&S charged me $35 to D&T this K frame. I'm sure most local gunsmiths would charge about the same.



Good Luck...
