Specialist Scope mount wanted

[foxynick]

Just wondered if any one knows of a two ring scope mount that can be flipped to the side to allow me to use the open sights and then flipped back into position. A mount similar to the ones used for a magnifier that goes behind a red dot sight ?

Just a thought why not just use two of the flip-mounts

Not sure that would be a good idea for ranges more than 50 yards !

May be look for something similar to the open sights used on ar15 style rifles mounted around 45 degrees I'm sure it would do for close range stuff !

My new rifle comes with two rails as part of the rifle so mounting a scope is not a problem with two rings but I want to use the open sights for close work (on boar) and then flip back to the 1-4 mag scope. There are plenty of single flip mounts but I can't find a double

Wouldn't you be better off with a European style quick detach scope mount and keeping the scope in a leather pouch on your belt? Otherwise you could go for a military style piggyback mount on the scope for a Shield mini red dot sight or similar.

Yes I know exactly what you mean and I wouldn't normally be this fussy but the open optic sights on this Merkel Helix in 30-06 are really good and clear. So much so I might take a range day on firing out to 150 with just the open sights the problem there is the old eyes aren't quite what they used to be. Lets hope the boar are big, black, and in front of a light background (Only joking not that bad yet)
