Here is the latest on my optic issues. Â I sent the 2X scope off to Burris for evaluation / repair. Â They responded it was not repairable and replaced it under warranty. Â I was not expecting this so big shout out to Burris! Â While this was in progress, I mounted a Tasco 3X Silhouette and it turns out this thing also has severe internal issues. Â Tasco / Simmons will not touch anything this old and the two repair shops they recommended will not touch a Tasco. Â Further research located a shop that will attempt a repair but I can't justify the total cost.
Anyway, the new scope is mounted and ready to go. Â I hope to get to the range tonight and check some reloads.

Definitely keep us updated on outcome. Â And a pic of it with the scope.

Here is a picture of the new scope, rings, and mount. Â The rings are overkill but nothing is going to move! Â I ran several bullet and powder combinations through the gun to wring out the scope. Â Nothing spectacular to report but all groups are vastly improved with the new glass.

I found a B-Square copy of a scope mount with a set screw fore and aft, and Weaver rings. Â I mounted it as far back as I could to keep it from being nose heavy. Â The scope is an old Simmons 2X. Â I hope to sight it in next week. Â Mounted on an 8â 715 if weâre keeping score.

Nice. You get that mount on eBay? I tried one of those and it wouldnât fit my 8 inch 357 shroud. But would fit my 6 inch. It was weird. And it would mar the rib so I ditched it for the drill n tap mount from DW

Yes eBay. Â So far it locks up on the 8â barrel. Â Iâll reevaluate after I fire it.

I got one of these off ebay and the slots were out of spec. Only .144 wide and when they are supposed to be at least .149 wide and therefore a weaver crosbolt won't fit.

Hey guys just for the the record if you have a Dan Wesson 15-2 in 357 mag the ruger mini weigatinny is a perfect fit to run a small holographic sight!

Does this require removing the rear sight to mount the rail?
