scope mount question
« on: March 06, 2010, 03:13:23 PM »
I am trying to put a centerpoint 4x16x40 onto my Gamo silent cat and need advice for a scope mount.  My existing mount sits too low for the scope and I want to purchase a 1 piece scope mount.  I found several on ebay, but was not sure what size the dovetail was on the gamo.  Is it 3/8 or 11mm, or will either one work the same.  Also, if anyone has advice where to buy a 1 piece scope mount at a reasonable price that information would be appreciated.  Forgot to mention, the scope requires 1" rings.

Either one will fit.  3/8" and 11 mm are really the same size.

Remember 25mm and 1" are basically the same.  

My Whisper has a UTG mount with Picatinny rails.  That way I can use Weaver Mounts and 1" rings.  It keeps the scope up a little higher and more secure.  I like it because you can't see the sights in it.

About 2 weeks from there.  They get it out when you order it, but it takes awhile to get here.
