barrel band mounts ?

[stegar1]

do they make scope mounts that clamp on like barrel bands for a lever action? for a puma m 92.

A scope on a Puma is like wings on a pickup, totally useless. If the regular sights arent doing it for you get a tang sight. Youll like the outcome better. I use my Puma for long range sillouette competition and I can shoot 600 with regular iron sights.

600 yards that would be on heck of an arc with my .454. i used to shoot perfect frm 500 with my m-16 but that was many yrs ago. eyes arent the same. i dont want to have something run off with that big of a hunk of lead in it.

Well in that case they make scout scope mounts that replace your back sight but I cant find any for the life of me. I will keep looking and let you know if I find something.

JMO, but even if some clamp-on scope mounts could be found, I don't think they'll hold on a .454 Casull.

If the rear bbl sight dovetail is approx 4" from the front of the receiver of your M92, a scout scope can be mounted in Weaver-type rings with the rear lens just ahead of the EJ port via installing a short XS LeverScout mount meant for the Winchester 94.
The front of the XS mount is anchored in the barrel dovetail, the rear needs two 6-48 D/T'd hole in the top of the front of the receiver, inline with the bore.

Another possible alternative, if your Puma has the lawyer bolt safety, is to replace the safety with a bolt paap sight.

It can be a surprise to many who think "scope", that a peep sight will do.

I found this yesterday at around 2 AM and havent had a chance to post it. Its the same thing PetahW is talking about but you will more than likely have to have a gunsmith drill and tap holes in your reciever and put it on. Its the second one down on the page.
