Red Dot Mount For Ruger .416 Alaskan

[Daven22s]

I recently picked up a Ruger Alaskan .416. I’m looking for a mount for a red dot sight. So far all I’ve found are the Ruger rings. What I need is a picatinni rail.

I believe Wiegand makes one

They do but they also recommend using it on rifles below 338 WM.

Ok so no red dot on my .416

You might talk to Weigand and see what they think. A red dot is not the same amount of mass as a large rifle scope, so the the rail might be able to handle it.

Weigand recommends a "drill and tap" mount on the big magnums.

I am interested in the solution, too.

Found a red dot mount for the Ruger 77, but cannot remember what company made it. My PH has been using it on a 458 and has had no problems. Maybe this thread may help, https://www.africahunting.com/threads/ruger-rsm-458-lott-red-dot-mounting-options.72636/

What's the recommendation for the red dot? I was considering getting one for my 458

Trijicon RMR, I’ve got one on my .416 Rigby and it works well.

Looks like Burris Fastfire mounts may be available

I actually have one of these mounts that I used with a Fastfire red dot sight. I like the mount, but the Fastfire went bad. Not sure what caused the failure, but I wouldn't trust another one on a heavy recoiling gun.
