Made a change for failing eyesight
My eyes took a deep dive a couple years ago that made it very hard for me to even see through a scope when the sun is covered with clouds or seeing in shadows.
I made up a Weaver scope ring mount for a modern scope so I can see developing loads to eliminate sighting errors. I mounted this rail on the dovetail blocks so I can switch from the NRA legal scope to a larger diameter scope that lets more light through so I can see when I shoot in heavy overcast daylight that the 3/4" scope we use for the matches.
This mount will let mw switch from the legal scope to a higher powered scope like this 6.5X20 Leupold scope in short order and still keep a close zero switching.
I used the Weaver Rail and adapted it to the Dovetail blocks. It took a little mill work making clearance for the scope objective I could have saved if I would have switched to higher rings to get the proper eye relieve but it would have made the scope to high.
I think this will work fine for me.
