I have been thinking about putting one of these on my 86. I here that turnbull makes a mount that fits the dovetail of the rear sight. I am not sure how it will work set that far forward. Any thoughts?

lv2hunt.Usually the closer to your eye the rear sight is the more user friendly it is.I haven't used a Fastfire,but this ceratinly applies to peep sights.

...For a scabbard that Picatinny protector mount would sprobably provide the most security, but it would make the sight sit up higher Jim, I don't have the protector mount but I was under the impression that it simply fitted between the sight and whatever mount was underneath, whether it be the Picatinny or one of the rifle-specific mounts (?) If so, the protector mount would only raise the sight up by the added thickness of the protector mount (1/16" or so), so I'm guessing that with it and an 1894 mounting plate it wouldn't likely sit any higher than with the Picatinny mount by itself.

Yes, you're right of course, the protector mount wouldn't sit much higher than the Picatinny rail mount itself. When I wrote that I was thinking of the height of the rail plus mount compared to the base mount which sits flat on top of the receiver.
