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.

Taurus Tracker scope mount Weaver style base
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.

Perfect, thanks.

Good tip, thanks.

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.

old thread brought back! I'm thinking of buying a 627 Tracker - the shorter barrel...if I can add a scope rail to it my decision would be made easier anyone mounted one of these to that gun? TIA!!

See " new toy " thread on this forum I put a red dot on a Tracker 970 6.5 SS using the Taurus tracker mount worked out just fine ....

talking about Old eyes, hello, I find it more difficult sighting with a dot, red, green or blue than using the good ole crosshairs, I'm shaking all over the place with the dot off hand no matter what power its on, with crosshairs for some unknown reason much steadier with a better sight picture ..,guess it's just a repetition thing doing it one way for many years ...

I will look it up....the short barrel tracker I want doesn't have the vent holes to use the Taurus mount...but saw the Wieland one that mounts to the rear sight screw...
