I took my Weaver V22-A 3-6 scope from the 70's I took off another .22 of mine that I want to use on my restored Crosman variant one model 160 Pellgun. Here's a pic of me eyballin' it for size;

​My basic question is; will the Benjamin adaptor mount for up to .565" receiver diameter fit the receiver on the model 160? They look close, but I have nothing to measure my Crosman's receiver with.
 
I had an e-mail conversation with Ron Robinson, looking for his Crosman 160 scope mounts. Couldn't find them for sale anywhere. He liked the pics I sent him of my 160 resto & Weaver V22-A scope so much, he's selling me the last set in matte aluminum from his own parts stash! I didn't know he won national championships with a 160 & V22 scope?! Paypal'd yesterday & can't wait for them to arrive!

Nice Kit! Had that model for a bit, didn't have Ron's mounts, as I wasn't restoring but just parts building I used some grooved receiver. Some one used make CR 400 barrel mounts one 1" scopes, sometime hear of a set.
Ron's a nice guy, I've got this crazy idea he used a pumper one year and shot right well. This picture off the Internet might be some of his crosman/other fine custom rigs used to win place and show in major FT events , a decent shooter goes a long way.




Now you may need one of each, low cost, ggreat exp tinkering, they don't all have to be good restores jusr excellent shooter to be keepres.

Thanks! I did it all entirely by hand too. Yeah, from email conversations he definitely seems like a great guy! He loved my 160 & thought highly of me for restoring one. So he sold me his last set of his latest design from his personal stash for $25! I'm still ecstatic that he actually sold'em to me, after searching the net brought nothing. not even on auction sites. He must have a lathe for polishing the barrels to get bluing to come out that good?
