I’d be interested in hearing about your success stories and failures. I have a set of Beeman fully adjustable rings with the pins that I think will work for one. They have an oddball dovetail size and don’t know where to source a set of rings for the other. Maybe a Fastfire would be a better idea. I don’t know. I have a couple Leupold 2x pistol scopes here that I’m not using so that would be the least expensive option.
I’m thinking about putting a scope or red dot on my HW45 and HW75
- Thread starter Mon834
- Start date
yes, the size is 13mm not the standard 11mm or 3/8
so, my thought is the HW45 it is a good idea as it opens to cock but the HW75 cock when closing so the scope becomes the new cocking handle
now many do that but it makes me wonder if it is best
now Eaglevision in the UK makes the 13mm to Weaver Picatinny adapter
https://eaglevisioncam.com/shop/dov...11mm-13mm-dovetail-to-picatinny-rail-adaptor/
i took the time to take the small squeeze together dovetail to weaver adapter and they will not fit but if you loosen the screws at both ends they will and i mounted a ring on that
now my adapters need a 00 Philips screwdriver eyeglass frame size
just ideas

Hw45 w probably Beeman rings, Beeman scope stop and Beeman extended front sight on 13mm rail. This is probably exactly how the manufacturer intended it to be.

Dots work well as long as it's not a 'long' shot, such as 100 yards at a squirrel or similar small game.
Most dots are a 1:1 ratio, no magnification, although there are some add-ons that can provide a small amount of magnification (costly).
Since there is no focusing going on, target acquisition is quick.
A dot sight also is very similar to dialing in of a standard scope.
I have used a dot sight on my revolvers for many years, and they are an excellent choice, especially at closer ranges, perhaps up to 50 yards.
One issue is that if you're shooting at a small target at any distance, the dot may cover the target. Most folks simply dial the dot at a 6 o'clock hold for this reason.
Once dialed in, they tend to NOT wander at all.

Nice photos!
The HW75 doesn't have scope interference for closing the stroke. The rear sight takes the brunt of it though.

Break your vintage HAKKO your SOL ... as ZERO SERVICING exists for this long gone & obsolete manufacturer.

I had older Hakkos, made long before Beeman started selling them, they are hard to break, they are built like a tank.

Just an old toy . Here is my everyday sight, in 53 I have 100% vision in both eyes and I do not need glasses or scopes. Please envy in silence.Tanks break down too ... the statement is FYI, do with it as you will
