Does anyone know of a way other than a Stith mount, to mount a scope on an EG without D&T? IE, any other types of mounts out there and perhaps in production now?
Also, it would seem that Stith mounts (when you find them) require specific older Weaver scopes--is this correct?
If so, which Weaver models will fit a Stith?
Thanks in advance

The Miller Kodiak and Stith are the only 2 "no-drill" mounts that I can think of.

Also You Can Use the BOONE-Saturn Scopes. They Work good but look funky on a rifle. Steve

This is a homemade mount that I plan to build more of now that I'm retired. I had extensions welded on a Redfield 1 piece and then formed it to the tang to use the factory tang holes in the rear and fabricated a dovetail block for the front. Same principle as the Stith but it is more rigid and you can put any scope on it. I have one almost finished except for the bluing.

Lightfoot, Looks like you have a dandy of a concept and design there. I monitored the progress occasionally on the thread where the fellow had some milled trigger guards made up for the CZ 452 and sold them to 24Hr members. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...81523/all/CZ452_milled_trigger_guard_proThey ended up at $140 polished and blued and shipped. A really good job on them too. Dunno if the fellow made any money on them - hope he did. I would bet you could sell a bunch of your mounts, just here on the Savage forum. Keep strok'n on that.

That's a clever mount you've come up with. Should work great.

It does do the job very well. Steve

Wow--didn't expect so many responses so soon; Skidrow--would've tried the duct tape, but my brother Bubba, who's "wicked smaahht" as we say here in NH said duct tape doesn't hold up well to Hoppe's #9! Lightfoot--should've known you'd have an idea (you helped me out with some parts for my last 99)--hope you do something with it--make a few soon and I'd buy one instead of doing something similar on my own. I'm OK with silver solder but am no welder for sure.

Ya really should try the duct tape. If you can find a chunk of tree branch about 1" in diameter and put that between the scope and receiver for a spacer then you won't have to break off the sights so as not to see them in the scope. OTOH, Lightfoot's mounts do work great.

A techno-Bubba step beyond duct tape would be to buy a set of Weaver mounts. Rough up the bottoms, degrease the receiver top, determine the correct positions, mask and JB Weld those bad boys to the receiver. Presto! Non-D&T mounts. Removal is quick and easy by separately heating the mounts and they will pop off with no harm to the rifle.
"Have I tried it, you ask?" Well no. I'm waiting on a Mike Mount unit.
