Ideas for night scope mount?

Ideas for night scope mount? - 01/13/12 03:27 PM

I traded for a night scope, but the mount was lost. i thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but I was wrong. It is a Rostov Cyclops NS5. I'm sure i could cobble something up to mount it to a rifle, but the mount is what you adjust the windage and elevation with, so I really need it. Any help would be useful.
Thanks!!!

photos say 1000 words...........

it sounds like you will be hunting on ebay for awhile, you might reach out to a national seller of nightvision and attempt to tap into the network of contacts for a request such as this.

Even a gunsmith may have a hard time designing a mount that will serve as the original was intended.

I have spent hours in my garage devising a better way to build a nightvision mount and thus far it hasn't happened.

YMMV but it is a VERY precise process.

Most likey going to be an ARMS mount.
What does the underside of the throat look like?

Thanks for the input.

Benny,
I would sure rather find one to put on this rather then having to have one made. I'm sure i could never make it adjustable.

Skylar,
It's not a commonly made mount. We carry ARMS at the office and they really don't make anything like this. By the by, I'm your RSR rep.

Here is a pic of the actual scope. Unfortunately, this is the best I have at the office. It is sort of a small reverse weaver mount with an adapter attached that holds it to the actual base.


Here is a pic of one on the base itself.


Thanks!!!
Matt
