    Question Mounting a Red Dot on a Tracker?

    Is there anyway to mount a red dot sight on a Tracker, specifically a 4" 990? I have a Burris FastFire red dot which I thought would be interesting to mount on my Tracker.

    May give a look at these. I wasnt sold on the idea of having to remove my rear sight but everyone that Ive talked to that has one loves it. Reasonably priced too

    I would go this way but before i pulled the rear sight. I would scribe where my sight sat in the dovetail. If the scope failed on me i could pull the scope and rail off.Then realign my rear sight with the scribe marks. Just keep the tools needed and rear sight on you ( small gladware container) to switch in the field.

    Done deal! I picked up a Weigand Weaver mount for my Tracker. Looks pretty neat. It was easy to install. The rear sight was easy enough to remove and should be easy to re-install. I hope to sight it in this weekend. Thanks Ccviper for the heads up on the Weigand mount.

    Hi John,
    I also have a Weigand on my Tracker 22lr. It's a great product!
    I ordered one for my GP100. Let us know how your first day at the
    range went.

    I got my red-dot mounted Tracker out to range today. It worked out great! I pretty quickly got the red-dot sighted in and started driving tacks. Bullets went right where I put the dot. My old eyes were happy!

    Sweet set up! I've been thinking about doing a red dot on my 990 Tracker. You may have just put me over the top.

    Due to the rising cost of ammo. A warning shot will NOT be fired!!
