Bud Joined Feb 2001 Posts 20074 EE 100% (17) TX, USA	Posted: 2/8/2024 11:39:04 AM EDT I have an old Rossi 92 that is being threaded for a suppressor. When I get it back I want to add a red dot sight, probably a Sig Romeo or similar. In researching a mount, I came across this company. Does anyone here have an opinion about them, or other suggestions? https://universalopticsrail.com/Alum-Fixture-92-p248915041 Thanks

I was hoping to pick up a 16" soon.

I ended up ordering it after exchanging emails with the manufacturer. I too liked that rear sight option.

It turns out that the one that he said would fit my Rossi did not. Rather than go through the hassle of an exchange and paying for the ride back, I drilled this one out and got it to fit. It actually turned out pretty slick. I have a Sig Romeo MSR that is going on it, and will have a suppressor in jail for it shortly as well. I need a low mount for the Sig MSR, which I am in the process of locating.

Thats what I have on my rossi 357. The one op posted has had some zero retention issues. Imagine that, one that is "no drill" is garbage. OP, check to make sure you have 4 drilled and tapped holes by/under rear sight, if so, get one from ranger point or skinner, or the one from rossi.

Mine is not drilled and tapped. I had to use another design.
