So as not to get problems in the wrong area, I will start a new post here. I have been looking for a scope mount for a 586 Smith and all I can find are for the newer models that come factory drilled and tapped. Mine is an older model and is NOT drilled and tapped. I have searched but had no luck in finding a mount that does not require drilling and tapping. I know they are out there, just don't know where to look. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!!
