Hi folks. I recently aquired a used aluminum clamp-on B-Square scope mount. I would like to mount it on my 744 for deer season. The center part of the mount that the rings attach to has two horizontal holes in it to allow the rib clamp to be attached. One of them is a larger diameter than the other one. The allen bolts that go through them are a smaller diameter, as are the holes in the clamps themselves. I would think this will allow the position of the scope to shift under recoil. Does anyone know if this is the way the mount was made. I can't understand why someone would enlarge the hole after purchuasing the mount. Any help would be appreciated.

Picture would be nice for those of us who don't have much to compare your description with.

Yes it would. Haven't been able to find my camera since my last camping trip. I'll keep looking and try to get one up.

This is in fact the way they come from B-Square. The larger hole allows the mount to be adjusted up or down slightly to align your scope. There are two small holes running down though the top of the mount at either end. In these holes are suppose to be small Allen head screws with brass tips. These are suppose to be adjusted to contact the top of the shroud. Note that there are two lock screws in the front and back of the mount to lock the adjustment screws. Be sure you loosen the lock screws before adjusting the mount. When the mount is adjusted correctly then lock all the screws down. The brass tipped screws prevent the mount from moving under recoil. Hope this helps.

One more thing. If memory serves me correctly the larger hole was suppose to go to the back. Don't hold me to that however.

Thanks for the info forensicfirearm. It now makes sense. Do you have any advice on picking out a scope for the setup?

I personally like lower magnification fixed power scopes in the 2X to 3X range. Any good pistol scope in that range works for me. I use an old 2X leupold on mine. I also like the newer reflex red dot sights or the Aimpoint red dot sights. I like to keep the weight down as much as possble. The variable magnification pistol scopes are too heavy for me and for my hunting needs are more magnification than I want. However, you needs might be different, so I would borrow a couple of different sights if possible and then make your decision from there. Hope this helps.

I have attempted to scope DW revolvers, and when I did, I "over scoped"
I'd have been much better off with a max of 2x, even for .22 lr. The Busnell 2-6x 32 mm was way too much in terms of magnification and size/weight.
Sometimes, size does not matter 
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
