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.

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.

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/

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

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.

Hello,
I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?
Thank you.
