At the 2003 SCI Convention I asked the Director of Development for Leupold if they had ever thought of a rail mount scope. He said that there was no market as they only get about 500 requests a year. 500 seems like a lot to me but he said they would need to make at least 5000 to make it economical.

The problem would be if they made 5000 which scope would they make? I suggested the 1.75x6 but who really knows what would sell?

I had one local gunsmith

tell me he could make a rail and use JB Weld to attach it to a scope. Maybe one of you guys ought to give it a try and report back? Don't forget to duck when you pull the trigger.
