As some of you may be aware, my Father was recently thinking about selling his 1970's Belgium made Browning .22 semi auto rifle...
...I talked him into keeping it.
NOW he wants to "tacticool" it
No...not quite "Archangel" level tacticool...let me explain:
The rifle is used primarily at the Lake House for "nuisance animal" eradication. Most of the shooting takes place at night (I hope I didn't just admit to breaking some law). The target area where the "nuisance animals" are usually found has a flood light system installed and wired to a switch.
What my Father wants: Inexpensive red dot scope on pic/weaver rails and a laser pointer, possibly a light.
The rifle is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. I believe this was done at the factory. I don't have the dimensions on hand, but can get them if needed.
I have looked online, but can't seem to figure out what pic/weaver base will fit on that rifle. I'm also trying to figure out how to put a laser on the rifle without "taping" it on somewhere.
So what I need from Yall is suggestions on what parts I will need to "trick his Browning".
Dream big, dream crazy...Help me find the right base, suggest a decent inexpensive "red dot", and figure out how we also give him a laser (maybe one of those YHM or DD angle rails?).
Go nuts folks...Assuming he doesn't change his mind (again) I'll post pics of the final result.
