Mounting Red Dot onto Ruger Mark II Target?

[TonyS. 12]

Picked up a Ruger Mark II Target and already love it. The only problem, and I did not know this, is it's not drilled and tapped like the Mark III's for a scope or red dot mount. I have a Burris FastFire III I'd like to mount onto her. Anyone know of a way to securely mount a red dot to a Mark II? Thanks.

B Square makes one that "squeeze" mounts the the receiver.  Has worked well for me for 20 plus years.  Some others require drill and tap.  This page above list quite a few to choose from.

Thanks T Bill. I literally just found the Burris mount on Amazon and was coming back here to say that. FWIW, here's the Burris mount on Amazon. Looks pretty straightforward but I've just read a few posts from guys saying they needed to use a shim to get the elevation down enough.

I have a Fastfire 2 using the Burris dovetail mount for my MK2, did not need to shim anything. I also have the Weigand mount, it makes it a bit high, but gives you a tap-free rail system for more options.

I have a burris fast fire 3 in this exact mount on my ruger mark 3 for about 2 years no problems whatsoever.  i like that it sits alot lower and looks better than just mounting it on the rail.

I have the Weigand http://www.amazon.com/Weigand-Ruger-Gunsmithing-Scope-Mount/dp/B003LXPX3W

for my Ruger Mark II.

 

It works great and doesn't require any alteration to the pistol itself.
