Thanks to all for your input. Lightfoot, is your mount a side-mount or top? I have seen a few side-mounts and they all look sort of ugly. Regardless, if the mount is all on the receiver, the same problem exists in regard to accuracy, and that is the sloppy barrel fit of a take-down precludes good accuracy. Does anybody know of a way to make a TD barrel fit tighter? Has anybody ever seen a solid-frame 22 HP??
