Springfield M1 Garand w/ Leupold 2.5x IER

How is the rail attached?

 

That Papoose looks like a great jackrabbit gun! So good that the jackrabbits were gone the next two hunting trips.

 

You were just out there recently hm? At least you didn't deplete your .22 ammo supplies.

The scout scope definitely makes sense on that removable barreled Papoose.

Thanks, the funny thing is that a few years ago, I purchased that scope on a whim.
Then I got to thinking, what sort of rifle would this scope be good on and only $300 later, the combo was ready to go.
... and that started the whole darn thing ...

I've seen very little interest in doing the same with the now-popular 10-22 Takedowns - I for one like the peace of mind knowing that my POI should never ever shift.

I had to take a double look at that. I thought it was a firearms at first glance, then that lever handle said "airgun".

Very nice. That is probably the coolest Daisy I've ever seen. :bthumb:

I had initially tried a scope just over the loading port, but after trying to awkwardly finger a half-dozen pellets in from the side, I knew there was a better way.

How is the rail attached?

It's the Ultimak scope mount, there are two substantial steel clamps on the underside of the mount.
The hex screws holding the clamps on are pretty large, and the whole setup is amazingly stout.
I haven't been able to take the rifle through its paces yet, but I'm optimistic as this mount has had very good reviews.
Not cheap though, that mount is spendy; particuarly if a person is only experimenting with scope configurations.

Kestrel, I'm very impressed!

Thank you sir, and best of luck with trying something similar with your project for a CZ rimfire.

--------------------

One thing that I hadn't mentioned earlier is that for the most part, these scopes can be mounted extremely low which is something that I prefer.
Lower than a traditionally-mounted receiver scope, and much lower than permitted by the clumsy M1 Garand and M1 Carbine receiver scope mounts that are generally seen.

On the M1 Garand, the ocular bell is actually very slightly below the top front edge of the receiver.
The M1 Carbine has the lowest scope mounting of all my rifles: the scope centerline is only 1.25" above the bore centerline.
The center-to-center measurement for the 853 above is only 1.3". These numbers compare very well with the ~1.5" that is typical from, say, a Remington 700 with Weaver 'low' rings & bases.

--------------------

Thanks all for the interest folks; I know there has to be more of these setups out there.

 

That's a really nice collection, Kestrel!

Norinco ATD with Browning SA22 mount installed backwards.

 

I've got a couple . . .

Marlin 30-30 336C with XS Scout mount.

Tried to install a cobbled up scout for a .357 Puma but it didn't work out too well - didn't hold zero reliably, it got to be too frustrating.

Remington 600 .350 Remington Magnum w/ Redfield FrontIER scout mount - awesome little dude with some punch! top one.

My Swiss K31 Karbine 7.55 Swiss, its a lot of fun to shoot too. I'm not too thrilled with side receiver mounts, and the top eject of this really makes sense to go with scout scope.

And lastly, one pellet rifle, a Benjiman 392.

Natman, I'm really like that ATD. :bthumb: Quite a few interesting Scout rifle options out there - thanks for the pictures.

 

J.R., those are nice Model 600s. I am in the process of refurbing mine. I just bought a Coquille Valley aluminum trigger guard because the nylon one was so warped. Mine is in 308 Win Mohawk with no rib. It's a thumper. I cannot imagine what a day at the range with a 350 Rem Mag would be like.

Right now - expensive!! Last time I looked (several years past), .350 Rem. Mag was $60/20, am too scairt to see what it is today. It does kick a mite.

Probably have to trade in body parts now for factory ammunition . . .

Thanks for compliment. The .350 stays at home, the Mohawk is what I chose in 1976 and is still my go-to rifle.

 

I have an 98K Mauser 8x57MM set with the scout style scope set up.





Works pretty good.

Midwest Swiss

 

Wow, nice rifles y'all!

 

I saw this at the LGS when I picked up my 452. It was either a Browning or a Norinco.

This gun looks a little beat up.

It's a Norinco.

 

M48 Yugo. 4X32mm Simmons scope.



Mosin Nagant 91/30 with a 4X32mm Simmons scope



H&R Handi Rifle 45/70 with a Swift 4X32mm Scope.



Shoots really good too!

Well... since I just finished this M91/30 "Sleeper" Scout build.

Stock refinished with tung oil low-gloss
2x7 LER in an S&K mount.
Bedded
Floated
Pressure padded at 22"

 

My attempt at the lever scout rifle.
I saw a Wild West guns co-pilot and could not afford it so when marlin had a limited run of stainless 16 inch barreled laminate stocked 44 mags I figured all it was missing was the takedown feature and for the 2000 price difference I could live with that.



Works very well in the field and is my go to setup in Indiana for whitetail's.

 

Quite nice, I've seen the co-pilot and thought it was quite something also.

Your build captures it well.

 

Jmarriot . . .

. . . very nice carbine and an outstanding buck as well - nicely done! :bthumb:

 

hey careful putting that awesome weapon on that weak looking roll of fence!

 

 

I'm thinking there's some good wood on that Mod.62 buttstock, it's a shame to cover it up with that camo.

 

My Spanish M-43

 

Love the Rem 600's. Great little guns and quite accurate. My son has two 660's in 308 and I have a 660 in 243. We both have wanted to get our hands on a 600 for a long time. One of 660's in 350 just sold for $1720 on GB. It was NIB!

 

Necro bump on my old thread (& sorry about Photobucket messing w/ my pics);

Has anybody seen a scout scope setup with a Winchester 9422?

 

Kestrek4K . . .

. . . the only 'Scout Scope' mount I've seen for a Winchester is the old Redfield FrontIER scope mount made for the centerfire Winchester 94. It may or may not work on the sibling 94/22. The same mount for the Remington is shown above in post #10.

If someone made a 'cantilever' scope mount like Natman's ATD mount (post #9 above), it may be able to be reversed like his installation doesn (very cool sir :bthumb.

Ii hope this helps.
