Fitting a Trijicon RMR to a Merkel 140

[Kevin Peacocke]

Hello all, what would you reccomend to fit a Trijicon to this so as to get the very lowest mount?
As you know I am fond of the Henneberger mounts that saddle the rib, and that could go between the claw scope mounts, but is there a clever mount that would go onto the back claw mount?
Many thanks,
Kevin

I meant to say Trijicon RMR.

Would you be opposed to a inconspicuous cut on both sides of the rib between the other mounting slots to accommodate and more standard compression RMR mount? I believe that JJ Peredeau does that type of modification regularly.

That is a possibility Franz. I am going to view the rifle today to get a better idea.

I second franz’s plan

I believe there are some threads on here where members have shown what those cuts look like. They are almost imperceptible unless you are looking for them.

Trijicon RMR is a great sight. Have used 4 different ones for years on handguns and on a 416 and a Lott. From Kodiak and other Alaska to Africa several trips.
