top-mount scope base.

I am not saying the BKL Cantelever are superior to others, but that they hold very very well on my Gamo springers. Especially the S1K which uses the built in dove tail incorportated on the barrel..

What is different about the BKL mounts is this. You have to spread the scope mount at base with screws before you can even get the mount to slide onto the S1K dove tail. When you remove the screws you can not move the mount. Then you use those same screws to clamp the mount at base. In other words you tight the mount down securly at that point..

Thats all. Just my observation of the BKL mounts. They are liter, stronger and do not cost as much as say a Beaman  or a Bsquare mount.....

I also have a B-square AA mount on one of my rifles "B-26-2" and it works great for barrel droop. The only problem is it weighs a bunch..

I thought you were trying to hide an ugly hack in your existing rail.  This would do it, otherwise, no advantage.

yes, but I have a few 1-piece mounts around, and any of those would hide it.

It's just if I were to sell it, the blemish will not be covered completely even by a moderately oversize hole, so I was thinking that a top-mount plate like the SSup has would give me a permanent cosmetic solution. I also like the look of the top-mount plate.

I would guess it would only weigh a few onces, and I know those add up, but I was just seeing what I could find out.

After all this, I think that if I wanted to do it, I'd try to the SSup plate.

Thanks for trying

What about polishing it out with  something like a Dremel tool, then a touch of cold blueing solution?
