Does anyone have any leads on a good scope mount for the Hog Hunter? Right now I have 2 short Weaver bases on it, but I found that my Redfield 2-7x32 was too short for the two-piece base. I'm looking for a one-piece weaver rail that will work on the Hog Hunter so I can use my Redfield scope.

EGW rail "second" for $24.99
yep, these are very good for the price, was going to get one of the seconds for my la savage but they don't have them. i bought the regular one for more but they are worth the money. short scope, long scope there's plenty of room to mount it wherever you wish.Quote:

Oops. I didn't realize it was a 20 MOA mount. Ya got me.
For your ranges, of course you don't need a 20 MOA mount. However, if it will fit and your scope still will hold zero at the ranges you shoot, the advantage is that you save some money on a quality mount. If you ever get a long range rifle, you can swap the mount over to that rifle.
The Weaver 402M(atte) will give you the extra length you need if you are satisfied with the two piece bases.
Further research actually brought that mount to my attention. I think I'll get that one for $6 and if I end up not liking it I'll look into a EGW.Quote:
