A mounting plate for attaching a scope to a firearm, said mounting plate comprising:
- a body portion having a chamber formed therein, and first and second bores on opposite ends of the chamber;
- and
- first and second inserts interchangeably positionably within the chamber, and each having a bore therethrough for receiving a second fastener, wherein the bore through the first insert matches the first bore of the body portion, and wherein the bore through the second insert matches the second bore of the body portion.
A mounting plate for attaching a scope to a firearm, said mounting plate comprising:
- a body portion having a chamber formed therein, and first and second bores on opposite ends of the chamber;
- and
- first and second inserts interchangeably positionable within the chamber, and each having a bore therethrough for receiving a second fastener, wherein a lesser bore spacing is defined between the bore through the first insert and the first bore of the body portion when the first insert is positioned within the chamber, and wherein a greater bore spacing is defined between the bore through the second insert and the second bore of the body portion when the second insert is positioned within the chamber.
A mounting system for affixing a telescopic gun sight to a firearm, said mounting system comprising:
- a mounting plate body portion having first and second bores on opposite sides thereof, the bores extending through the mounting plate body portion for alignment of one of the first and second bores with a first mounting hole of the firearm;
- and
- first and second mounting plate inserts interchangeably positionable relative to the mounting plate body portion to align a bore extending through one of the first and second mounting plate inserts with a second mounting hole of the firearm.
