I have a Rossi lever action. Love the rifle, love the idea of the buckhorn sights, can't see crap when trying to focus on said sights. It's not the sights, it's my eyes.
So, I'm putting an Aimpoint H-1 w/ a Larue LT661 mount on my rifle....at least that's the goal.
I found two sources for a rail for the Rossi. One is the Rossi P801 WEAVER rail....$15 give or take. Per Rossi, at this time out of stock and not available for 8-10 weeks. I like this solution best. Know the LT661 mount is for a picatinny rail but believe it will work on a weaver rail (based on a comparison I found on the Brownell's web site)
Found Pearson's No Drill Tactical Rail online. In stock, $60 give or take (quick math...3x as much as the Rossi rail). Read the guys website, watched his videos, and...BASED ON THE INFORMATION HE PROVIDES, HE SAYS IT'S A PICATINNY RAIL. Order the rail, it shows up and it's completely milled out through the middle for the majority of the rail.
Just a heads up because I found zero actual reviews of this rail in my searches before buying. So...I might call it some type of modified picatinny rail but that's about it. All the edges are also VERY sharp. Like it came right off the mill, shot with some type of coating, and out it went. For the price, I expected more...MUCH MORE. It's looks long on the gun and especially if running a small red dot. Going to keep it because who knows what I'll do with this rifle in the future (and there's only two choices) but for now going to wait on the Rossi rail (and change the mounting base of the H-1 if need be).
Wanted to post a pic but don't really post much (2nd one here I think) and don't need another account somewhere just to post pics. Not a dig on this site...I love it, just my choice.
Be well.
