Can you put a scope on a Remington model 33?

Answer 1

Yes you can if you don't mind destroying the value of this vintage rifle. Manufactured from 1932 to 1935, only 263,000 were made. Current value $75 to $600 depending on variation and condition.

So if you insist, Weaver makes top and side mounts that can be installed on the rifle's receiver to accept Weaver type rings.

Either option will require drilling and tapping holes to secure the mounts.

The top mount requires two bases, Weaver #42 (48042) for rear and #43 (40843) for the front. The side mount is #2 (48402). Weaver http:

lists these for the Model 34 but I have both rifles and the mounts will also fit the 33.

The top mounts are $5 or $6. I don't know the side mount price.

A gunsmith quoted $10 per hole to drill and tap the receiver.
