there a a few things you can do you can mount it on the side it takes some getting used too but it works or you can get a special scope made for mounting farther forward there hard to find but they work great
Mounting an airsoft scope on an actual rifle would actually quite ruin it. Don't do it, because an airsoft scope is notdesigned to take the shock that an actual gun would give it.
Contact the maker.
You need a good gunsmith
Check out Ironsighter Co, PO box 85070, Westland, MI 48185. They make a see through scope mount that attaches to the left side of the receiver by the two screws that are already there. No gunsmithing required to attach it.
the scope is not what you want to worry about, it is the scope mounting rings find rings that will fit to your toy and the scope will mount right on , do not expect the toy to shoot dead on because it is a toy not a real weapon . don't shoot your eye out or anyone Else's eye.
For that one, contact the Browning service department in Arnold, MO.
Brownells, Midway, even Amazon- but I would check with Ruger first for suggestions. Mounting a 50mm scope will be difficult due to lack of clearance- a 56mm will be VERY difficult. And not that you asked, but probably too much glass for a rifle that is not a high precision target rifle.
Here's the basics on mounting the scope on a rifle. ( Assuming you have a scope mount on the rifle.) 1. Place the bottom half of the scope rings on the rifle first (Without the scope attached.) 2. Place the scope on the bottom half of the rings and adjust the scope mounts to comfortably fit your eye. When adjusted, tighten down the bottom half of scope rings to the rifle mount. ( The scope should have one cross hair adjustment at the top and one on the right.) 3. Place the scope in the rings and then put the top half of the rings on. Tighten them down, but not VICE tight, just loose. You still want to move the scope some. 4. Look through the scope and align the cross hairs level with the rifle barrel. The Vertical line should be straight up and down at a right angle with the barrel. 5. when you have the scope adjusted to your eye and the barrel of the rifle, tighten the top scope rings in a crisscross pattern a little at a time. Don't vice one down then go to the next one. Do it a few turns on each one until they are tight. A final note. If you have a small screw hole and screw at the back end of the scope mount (on the rifle) you may want to place the rear scope ring against that screw. This is a scope stop. This will keep the scope from moving back from the recoil. Some scope mounts have a long pad at the rear of the scope mount that acts the same way. It's usually necessary on high powered rifles not 22's.
That will depend on the scope and your eyes- but is ABOUT 3.5 inches. (Distance between your eye and the rear lens of the scope) It is the distance where you see the full image in the scope. You adjust it by sliding the scope forwards or backwards in the rings before tightening them down so that it fits YOU when holding the rifle in firing position. Please note- failure to pull a heavy recoiling rifle in TIGHT to your shoulder will result in a cut over your eye from being whacked with the scope.
Yes you can. Most of the modern in-line muzzle loaders are set up for mounting a rifle scope. However, a muzzle loader will still have a relatively slow bullet, and a very high arc when fired at long range. Your ability to accurately estimate range and hold over will be important.
The BSA Sweet 17 rifle scope is an affordable scope that's designed for beginning rifle users. Average prices on the scope range from $50.00 to $100.00 in most cases.
A 1898 Krag rifle in good condition is worth between $700 and $1,100 dollars, in unaltered condition. Mounting a scope that requires drilling and tapping for a scope seriously damages the rifle and its' value. Some companies are now restoring rifles that have been drilled and tapped. This is an expensive restoration, but for a valuable heritage arm, is worth the cost. In the condition noted, this rifle is worth about $400.00.
