Red Dot for Old Single Shot .22

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Red Dot for Old Single Shot .22

Posted: 2/19/2018 8:13:51 PM EDT

The title pretty much says it all. I would like a very small, lightweight red dot for an old Remington single shot .22. I don't mind spending money on this and would like for it to be pretty nice. Would milling it for an RMR be ridiculous, or is there a better way to go about it? This will be for my child and I would like to buy a sight for this rifle that could move on to others in the future.

Round receiver? Could use a mount like I have on my 22/45 Lite that screws down to the receiver using another piece in the rear site dovetail. If you can find one for a gun with the same diameter receiver you would only need to mill a dovetail.

Thanks a ton for the link and the idea. This may prove to be interesting, as there isn't a rear dovetail, but a leaf type site mounted to the barrel. My father is a retired millwright, so I'll see what he thinks about it.

No problem! Be sure to post pics if you get it mounted

Call me old fashioned, but why not teach the kid with iron sights? I think most of us learned that way (including the military) if you want to step the kid up to an optic do it with a more modern rifle after he/she learns to be proficient with the single and Irons.

Just my .02

That's a pretty good point. Frankly, my father stated the same. There was also something mentioned about Anschutz, so I think the project costs will be spiraling out of control and making irons a necessity anyway.
