Scope mounts for cadet barreled martini
#278396 - 24/02/16 04:13 PM

Putting together another martini cadet. .357 maximum this time. Using an original cadet barrel. What mounts have others used with success?
My last one I used a tip up rail and just put a red dot on it. But it was a magun not a maximum and I want a better optic
Thanks
Jerry

I use a Weaver 92 A with the extension hanging over the receiver ring.

Be careful putting a Maximum in Cadet. Some fit and some don't. If you think you can make it fit by grinding the breech block, think again. The breech block is your locking lug and ground blocks do fail, usually by cracking.

I drilled and tapped one screw hole on the barrel boss just ahead of the receiver ring and one in the 'blank' drifted into the raised rear sight boss of the CZ Hornet barrel I screwed into the action. I used a Weaver base, drilled a new hole as necessary. IIRC - I used 8x40's because there was only two of them - that was for the .22 Hornet.

On the .17HMR, I drilled and tapped 3, 6x40 holes into the barrel, in a flute, again using a Weaver base.

In common with CAMartini I am finding this thread very useful, also needing still to source mounts and methods for my Cadet in .222 Rimmed.

I have fit a number of Maximums back in the mid 80's when I had my shop open. It was very popular back then. Some fit, most did not. You can cut the web between the horns of the lever to lower the load posion an get them to fit some times.

If you grind the trough in the top of the breech block the blocks can and do sometimes crack. Remember the breech block is your "locking lug".

Some of my colleagues were warning about chamber bulging, but I never saw that. Only cartridge I saw chamber bulging in the cadet was the .225 Winchester.
