QD adapter plate for Win M70 Talley base

[Scott CWO]

Does anyone know if this exists? I have a client who has Talley bases and QD rings on his Winchester M70 458 Lott rifle. He’s wanting to be able to remove the scope and attach a holographic red dot sight. I checked with Talley and they don’t sell a QD adapter plate that works with their bases. Is this product available anywhere?

I have one for my CZ550 with its integral bases but that’s a whole different beast.

I’ve made these before but haven’t seen them for sale.

I just went through the same dilema recently. There doesn't seem to be any commercially made red dot mounts for Talley bases. I spent some time looking for one online, etc. I would've thought there would/should be. But an older post I believe here mentioned that JJ Perodeau made one for them and it turns out that he does! I called him, stopped by on my way to the Tulsa gun show last month and have my RMR mount! My rifle's reciver is machined for Talley rings but doesn't have the rear recoil shoulder that a normal Talley base has. I haven't mounted the Trijicon yet.

Or I could've just said to call JJ Perodeau! Good luck

You might consider calling Midway USA and describe what you need. I had to do that with a Model 70 .375 and they fixed me right up.

I just mounted a RMR on a model 70 this past weekend. I went Talley RMR mount directly to rifle because I didn’t think there were any other options. I’ll watch this, it would be nice to shoot irons quickly if needed. If I find anything different I’ll update.

Long ago I posted this for one of our late members in Zimbabwe...

The photos below show what one can do with an antique hand vise and fine file. Clearly, a milling machine would provide a much better looking product.

File of better, mill off the rear lug (flange?) from the Talley base and presto! Instant mount for the RM58 mount.

Removing the rear lug should not affect the scope ring staying in place since inertia will hold the scope and ring in place while the rifle and scope base move rearward in recoil.
