My son recently got a browning BL-22 lever action rifle. The receiver is short so the dovetail is also short. Had a Simmons 22 mag here for my nephews gun and tried it on the Browning. It doesn't work. No way to push it forward enough to get any sight picture. I considered ordering a Leupold rimfire scope but didn't want to spend the money and have the same issue. Has anyone mounted a scope on this rifle and what was the scope/ring combination. Thanks, Max

Vic and Cheryl Havlin sell a style of off-set mounts for Mossbergs with a receiver design that makes mounting a scope impossible with conventional .22 rings. They may work for your situation.
Their business is called Havlin Sales & Service in Festus, MO, and the part number is 274M. Their web site is havlinsales.com

My BL-22 wears a gloss Leupold 4X rimfire scope in Leupold rings and all is fine.

Huntsman,
Does that red dot fit a rimfire grooved receiver, or are you using a special mount? That's precisely the set-up I'm trying to put on my BL 22. It looks great on such a light .22.
