Scope and open sights on Merkel .470
      #167289 - 06/09/10 04:45 AM

Planning on putting a scope (1,5-5x20) on my DR. However, I'd like a low and decentlooking mount.

I see that Searcy make his rifles with the quarterrib ready for Talley rings?
Is it possible to mill out a couple of notches, and have a couple of Talley bases machined to fit nicely into them? I'll only head down this road if it looks good in the end..
What width is the talley bases compared to the quarter-rib on the Merkel? It's the "old" 140-1 extractor model.

Does anyone know where I can order Platinum beads as a replacement bead? I'm also getting my gunsmith to file down the rear blade to a proper shallow V and fitting a platinum line to the centre of it.
I find the original sights totally useless, and have given up on them...

The scope mounts are of great importance when you are planning to put a rifle scope on your rifle..
A good scope mount hold the key to rifle scope life and "holding" zero.
So it`s best put more thought into it and to invest in a realy good mounting solution.
No offence to the american users of this forum but I'm not sure that an american made mount is the best solution for this rifle... I had some bad experience with american mounts (leupold qrw and warne qrw),problem gone after purchasing a pair of Recknagel weaver rings.
I'll recomend you to look over the recknagel or EAW catalogues...They offer mounting solutions for a very wide variety of guns.They also offer open sights and bases for them.
Another way is a custom gun mount by a good gun smith..For example the gunsmith that I go to for my guns builds very nice Blaser mount adapter bases and a lot of other different and traditional mounts.



p.s. How do I attach a picture from my pc when editing the post?
