What type of scope mount is used on this gun?Would like to instal one of the Red Dot or Pro Point type scopes.Any experiences/preferences.It will be a range and plinking toy.

Default shipped on the gun is a dovetail mount (narrower than weaver). You can buy a replacement base with weaver mounts for around $15.

I have one that can fit both dovetail and weaver, and I bought it on here for $12.

It should have come with a mount. Earlier ones had dovetails and later ones had weaver and dovetails. I wouldn't bother with anything but weavers. Try rimfiresports.com. They stock them.

Nope no mount.Just a clean flat surface begging to be accessorized.

Your 10/22 should have 4 small screws on the top of the receiver - if not (if its REALLY old) you'll have to have a gunsmith drill and tap the op of the receiver to add a weaver base. If you have the small screw holes you can just add the base yourself. A hint - use a bit of locktite to secure the base screws. Also - you can buy rings that mount right on to the screw holes on the reciever (they are a Ruger factory part) - but I have heard terrible things about them (that the recoil loosens them, and that your scope won't stay sighted in). You're best off going with the $15.00 weaver base.

I personally don't like the dovetail mount that came with my 10/22 and quickly replaced it with a Power Custom mount. Just my 2 cents
