Clever...without adding new holes on the first one. And if someone has already drilled holes, the second one looks great!
Scope Mount For 348 Winchester - Just To Show It Can Be Done
I wanted a scope on my model 71 Winchester and definitely did not like the side mounted types, so I decided to design make my own.
I made 2 different models, one that uses the factory drilled and tapped holes that many of the model 71s have for a side mounted peep sight, and no permenent modifications are made to the rifle. The other is designed to take advantage of a set of holes that were drilled by a former rifle owner to mount one of the side mounted scopes.
My mount is secured two ways. It has an integral dovetail that fits the factory dovetail cut-out in the barrel and a side section which is secured to the side of the receiver with typical gunsmith type screws. Additionally, there is a set screw in the center of the mount dovetail that locks the mount dovetail to the barrel dovetail so that it remains true.
Other than bluing and installation, my two mounts are completed.
I am not selling these. In fact I am giving the design away for the asking.
I am attaching a few pictures.

I now have the design available for free to anyone wanting a copy. Design is in PDF format.
It can be modified for almost any kind of scope rings, but I used Williams rings and may yet change to Conetrol rings which have a 7/16 stud instead of the 1/4 inch studs that Williams uses.
eMail me if you want the design:

By the way, I built the bolt mounted peep sight from scratch, since it was missing when I purchased the rifle.
