kchampUltra Dot Mounts for SW 686
Will the rings that come with the ultra dot be ok on this pistol and what base would you recommend.

bfrshooterI have a 686 here right now that needs a base. I do not want a band at the front around the barrel for the customer. I have been looking at the Weigand or the B Square. No problem drilling and tapping. Does anyone have a good base without that wrap around barrel clamp?

MS Hitmanbfr,
If I remember correctly, Leupold makes a base that does not have the yoke on it. It's a drill and tap installation on the older revolvers. The newer ones sometimes come already to mount it.
If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

bfrshooterIt is a worry. I have the Loopy on a .44 and rings are close together and will not allow many red dots to fit.
Ruger has rings too close too.

bfrshooterI forgot to mention, the man has an Aimpoint so twist in rings are out.

swampshooterI'm not happy with aluminum rings, but you might get by with them on a .357.
velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

I've used them without any problems on my .500 JRH BFR (3 rings).

bfrshooterI am still waiting to get the Aimpoint from the customer. I think it has mounts on it for the base but don't know yet.
I never used one, too expensive for me. I have no idea what model he has.

swampshooterI had problems with aluminum rings on a model 29 not holding zero. Switched to steel and problem solved. I was putting a lot of rounds through that 29 though. 240 cast about 1,000 fps. shot at bowling pins. I've had problems on magnum rifles also.

WhitworthI used Ultradot's aluminum rings on my .416 Remmie Mauser without problems as well. Odd.
