[Yo-Yo]

My scope is almost twice as wide as the rifle. Scope rings won’t fit around the slots running along the top. Should I file it down on the top?

The dovetail grooves on a .22 are smaller than the Weaver style rails on center fire rifles.

You need different scope rings.

My Nylon 66 came with an original Weaver scope on it. I simply replaced it with a little Tasco knock-off and it works just fine. The Weaver is too “valuable” in my opinion to use. It’s not worth much alone, but if I ever sell the rifle it will increase the package value. Tasco makes several useful scopes that are plug and play.
