Winchester 69A scope mounting

[220Swifty]

I have a winchester 69A with a Lyman peep and globe front, that i would like to put a scope on, is there any mounts out there that use the existing holes tapped for the lyman that i could use ?

I'm pretty sure that they were made (possibly only for 3/4" scopes) but it might be a case of diving in all the parts bins at gun shows till you find one.

Could try Numrich Gun Parts or Western Gun Parts also.

A lot of people including me will cringe at the idea but it might be easiest to get someone to drill some new holes on the top for you if you really MUST put a scope on it.

Personally I would just enjoy it as the classic that it is and stick with the iron sights. They can be a lot more accurate than a lot of people give them credit for.

Not going to drill any holes in this one. I like the peeps, but i have a classic scope in mind for it. If i cant find a base, i guess i will be after another gun to put under that scope, damn.

Look for another 69a with the receiver grooved for a scope. Some were- I own one, but I'm sticking with the peep sights.

A machine shop could do the dove tail job then no one would no the difference I have had a couple done .
