Current Weaver Scope Mounts - Anybody used them?

[Mad Texan]

After some online searching I found that Weaver makes a side scope mount that will apparently fit Model 8 and 81s.

Questions:

Have any of you tried them?

Do they bolt up to existing receiver screws or do you have to have the receiver drilled and tapped?

Thanks,
Mad Texan

yes, the current Weaver #7 (48407) requires the drilling and tapping of the receiver. 6 holes I believe.

Thanks, that's what I figured.
