Just got N.I.B. I need to put some kind of red dot/ zero mag holographic sight on this. It certainly seems “ prepared” to accept some kind (?) of mount. There is a screwed-on thin rail of a type i am not familiar with that is beveled like a pic rail but is certainly not a pic. Does anyone have any idea what to do with this? I have also texted the dealer to see if they have any thoughts. Thanks in advance folks.
 
Got some photos. The “top” part above the recessed and slanted dovetail cuts is 11 mm across. It just looks like a skinny, kinda shallow ungrooved pic rail with one small recess that looks like a recess for a recoil lug.

This is a Recknagle pic rail for an “11 mm dovetail mount”. Sounds to me like this MAY be the/an appropriate mount. Any thoughts?
 
I bought a Rizzini from George. I had JJ put on a custom piece inlaid into the rib for a Trijicon. Not cheap at $500 for just the rail
 
This already has a rail screwed just ahead of the receiver beteween the barrels. I certainly would not want to replace it if it is there specifically to accept a mount. I think this thing is what is called an 11 mm dovetail rail. There are a number of red dot mounts that will go on them and a bunch of pic rails that adapt/are designed to fit 11 mm dovetail rails. I would REALLY like to get a rail mount ( or red dot mount) that can accommodate that recess for a recoil lug. After all, this ain’t no air gun. It is a s/s .416 Rigby Rizinni Rhino Express.
 
Go to the trijicon sight and look at the rmr bases. Thet make one for the 11mm rails. Take the rmr red dot off the factory base for a pic rail and put the rmr on the new base.
 
Thank you so much for your reply. Although I am fairly ignorant in this area (red dots) I am sure your comments will be completely meaningful to some of my acquaintances at the gun shop and then they can educate me.
 
One solution would be to fit a Kahles red dot, very high quality. It comes with a Base plate adapter to fit a Dokter base - that is the standard fitting for most bases . Then you buy an 11mm dovetail mount from Rusan. Done.

No idea about the mount but you certainly need to look at the Kahles Helia red dot for your double.
 
if you use the rmr style you need the

Got a Trijicon on it and it is great. Also have back-up option of scope. Got a Vortex Razor HD gen III illuminated 1-10x and rings for 11 mm dovetail. However, here’s the kicker. My hunting activity, for reasons of age and health, have now been limited to my geographic region. So, I am now the only FL cracker I am aware of who hunts big FL boars about every 3 weeks with my Blaser R8 .375 H&H, Heym o/u 9.3 x 74R, Win mod 70 .458 win mag and a s/s Rizinni Rhino Express .416 Rigby. I just look at those big ugly hogs and think “ it’s just a 250 lb buff”. Tempers just as bad and bigger cutters but no horns. I guess the 45-70,.308 and all it’s smaller and/or smooth bore brothers will have to get used to ‘yotes and such.

Hi sir, I ve got. the same gun. What Mount/Base did you use in the end. Maybe you can share a picture from the base
 
The gun is long gone, and I don’t have any pictures. But I believe I got it from Euro-optic. It was just a long, small flat 11mm dovetail rail.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
