	Wes said that he would disown me if I put scope blocks on my DST 32-40 high wall so I got cataract surgery instead. I always thought it would be advantageous to scope it just for load development to rule out poor iron sight techniques. Well today, just to prove that I have more time than common sense, I made an adapter to mount a scope for my bullet testing session tomorrow, No Winchesters were harmed in this process. Jack

	There are wooden tongue depressor sticks stuck to the bottom of the aluminum angle with carpet tape where it touches the top of the barrel. excuse the finger over the lens on the close up shot.

	I won't know until tomorrow morning. I just finished it 1/2 hour ago. I will keep the forum updated.

	Very clever You might need to invent a lower height version. Also you could add a red dot and a laser or flashlight now. Chris.

	If I were to do it right, I would make a proper forearm with extra wood on the left side only to mount the angle. I would also replace the filler in the rear sight dovetail with one threaded for a screw and secure the top of the angle to it. Probably install proper sight dovetails for a Lyman scope. Then again, I did have cataract surgery and should be able to shoot the iron sights
