Mounting a kite nv scope

[willowbank]

Hi chaps has anyone fitted a military Kite NV scope to a sporting rifle?

Mate has one but we have no idea how/who to get mounting info or if indeed it is worth doing, the scope itself is quite impressive performance wise.

As always grateful for input, thanks.

Regards WB.

Should just be a picatinny rail .... or are you saying there is no mount on the kite itself?

Hi there is a mount of sorts but assume it clamps straight on to a mil rifle.

Its probably the mount for the SA80 rifle. Not sure if its picatinny size or not

No its slightly smaller and has just the one small securing lever that clamps on the side to the mount.

Can you post or PM a photo please, so I can see. There may be some options.

A rifle smith in Norfolk has one fitted to his foxing rifle.

His name is Richard Smith and he is based in Aylsham
