I did a couple of different searches for this going back 6 mos and did not find much.

I have a SLR95 that I want to mount a scope rail to.  I would think that this would be an easier home project given the milled receiver and I have a pretty well equipped workshop (mics, calipers drillpress taps etc) I would like to stay away from rivits.

Has anyone done this?  Can anyone direct me to a description of process?  Does anyone have a kit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

I think K-Var offers a bolt on unit and Tantal has one also. Minor drilling and tapping required, minimum skill level.

agreed. use the rail from tantal. he offers one that attaches with socket head cap screws. it comes with a hole location/layout template.

personally, i prefer to spot the front or rear hole (depending on which rifle i'm wrenching on), snug the rail down and level it out to the bbl. bore or receiver top edge. then, i clamp the rail and drill the hole in the opposite end and screw it down. finally, the center hole is completed.

I am a little fuzzy on drilling from the opposite end.  Are you saying to use the rail as a template?   A little more detail please.
