The Mossberg 42, a .22 caliber rifle, is typically compatible with a variety of rimfire scopes. A 3-9x40 variable scope is a popular choice, offering versatility for different shooting distances. Additionally, a fixed 4x or 6x scope can also work well for more focused shooting scenarios. When mounting, ensure that the rings and bases are appropriate for the rifle's design and rail system.
Top or action has a dove tail to hold rings. If your rifle has no dove tail it may need scope bases, I am almost positive that all 66's had dovetail tops.
depends on the rifle and the scope. Most scopes will use 1 inch rings for that type rifle.
Answer: The Mossberg Rifle 45A alone is currently (2009) valued at around $200 or a bit more in very good to excellent condition, however, the "S" prefix denotes that it was sold with a scope.

Here's the basics on mounting the scope on a rifle. ( Assuming you have a scope mount on the rifle.) 1. Place the bottom half of the scope rings on the rifle first (Without the scope attached.) 2. Place the scope on the bottom half of the rings and adjust the scope mounts to comfortably fit your eye. When adjusted, tighten down the bottom half of scope rings to the rifle mount. ( The scope should have one cross hair adjustment at the top and one on the right.) 3. Place the scope in the rings and then put the top half of the rings on. Tighten them down, but not VICE tight, just loose. You still want to move the scope some. 4. Look through the scope and align the cross hairs level with the rifle barrel. The Vertical line should be straight up and down at a right angle with the barrel. 5. when you have the scope adjusted to your eye and the barrel of the rifle, tighten the top scope rings in a crisscross pattern a little at a time. Don't vice one down then go to the next one. Do it a few turns on each one until they are tight. A final note. If you have a small screw hole and screw at the back end of the scope mount (on the rifle) you may want to place the rear scope ring against that screw. This is a scope stop. This will keep the scope from moving back from the recoil. Some scope mounts have a long pad at the rear of the scope mount that acts the same way. It's usually necessary on high powered rifles not 22's.
Depends on the condtion of the rifle. Collectors values on the Mossbergs are modest, and might range from $75 to $275.
50mm at least.I have found that with a 50mm objective you will need a minimum of high scope rings.Most medium hight scope rings will not give you the clearance needed for a 50mm scope objective.
For a 50mm scope, you typically need scope rings that can accommodate the diameter of the scope tube, which is usually 1 inch (25.4mm) or 30mm, depending on the specific model. Additionally, you'll want rings that provide adequate height to ensure the scope clears the rifle's barrel and any other accessories. Look for medium to high rings, depending on the rifle's configuration and your personal preference for eye relief. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility.
