I'm afraid I don't know of one, but don't let that stop you if so:
I had my local gunsmith D&T my Marlin 70P for a Weaver base that happened to fit the bbl contour pretty well;
if you're interested, I could determine the Weaver # for that base ?

There are a few scout rifle fans here on RFC, so please keep us posted with any progress.

If you do happen to do this, my vote is to use a 10-22 Takedown for this mod, comparable to my Marlin 70P takedown above.

Best regards,

I wanted on from Chief AJ. But didn't have the $$$ at the time. A pointed post reticle was on the one I pawed....

 

I did do a scout rifle picture thread here on RFC a while back, if interested:

Pearson does

There are others but I can't think of them at the moment.

 

Although not true to Col. Cooper's true Scout requirements, Magpul has a pic rail that replaces the barrel block on the 10/22 TD models.

And Volquartsen has Cantilever mounts for their TD barrels.

 

I wonder if you could reverse the cantilever mount on the VQ barrel.

 

the Volquartsen Cantilever scope mounts only mount to the barrel with two screws, so they are reversible..but, I don't think Volquartsen even makes the mount any longer...I'm not even sure that they d&t their barrels for them anymore

 

Steyr scout .22

Find someone with a 3D printer.

Yes. I did that and it works.

I wonder if you could reverse the cantilever mount on the VQ barrel.

Yes. That is what I did for my take down.

 

Dove makes a nice mount that utilizes the dovetail and a jack screw to stabilize it. I went one further and drilled and tapped my barrel to add an additional screw to the mount since I prefer two solid mounting points. I added a 4x weaver scout scope and now it’s perfect. I had a Nikon P-22 mounted on the receiver rail prior. Since it’s a take down I prefer the barrel mounted scout scope.

 

Dang, the Steyr .22 Scout weighs more than the centerfire.

I built one last year, sort of. Never got the optic sorted out and I'm still waiting on the proper mount from Dove's. Here it is with the Amega mount and a 30mm Tasco 1x.
