What type of base for bushnell trs125 red dot sight?

Good Day Ladies and Gents:

I bought a new Bushnell Model TRS125 Red Dot Sight for my Merkel 141 E. The Ring on the scope has a weaver style attachment.

I bought the scope because I got a hell of a deal for it and if I don't like it, I will put it on my 45-70 lever action.

The base that came with the Merkel rifle appears to be a blank. Or perhaps it is designed for a Doktor Optik. In any case, can someone reccomend the correct base so that I may mount the scope to my gun.

I have been told by others here that the bases used by Merkel are Recknagel. A base make and model number would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,

carpediem

No politician who supports gun control should recieve armed protection paid for by those he is trying to disarm.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-scotch in one hand-Chocolate in the other-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!"

Come on you guys. Somebody out there in double rifle land has got to have some suggestions.

EAW manufactures a mounting base to attach an aimpoint to the rear base of the Merkel but I don't know if it takes the standard Weaver type mount. The mount number is 2700/056. Has anyone else used this mounting plate and does it allow for a weaver style mount to be attached?

I sent an e-mail to EAW last week but have yet to hear from them.

Kindest regards,
