GP100 5" - Scope Mount

SVL76 · November 6, 2013, 09:41 AM

does anyone make a scope mount (no drill/no gunsmith) for the 5" version of the GP100?

I've found mounts for the 4" and 6" version, but not the 5"

With how accurate this gun is, I'd like to stretch it out far past what my tired eyes are capable of w/o optics.

I have not found any "no drill" mounts for the 5". But maybe you could call or email Jack Weigand to see if he can make a 5" version of his no drill mount for you. Never hurts to ask.

I actually spoke to him a few months ago and unfortunately there isn't enough interest. I think the minimum production run was like 100...not small change.

We also discussed modifying a 6" but he said it wouldn't work.

However, I really like his mounts. They appear to be well made and the owner was nice to speak to.

That is realy cool he did take the time to discuss this with you. Sorry it did not work in your favor. Plenty of drill options out there for you unfortunatly.

Yeah, really nice guy.

I just feel like it would be wrong drilling a beautiful 5"

I've even considered grabbing a 6" and drilling that one just to save the 5"

Well the 6" you can get a no drill mount for. So that is an option.

That is true! So many different options to lighten my wallet just a little further.

Get 6". Please don't harm that 5"! Haha.

That's exactly what I'm thinking...

I could never drill the 5"
