Tim is a hoot to chat with. I believe Tim will drill/tap for a Williams peep. If it needs to be done, Tim can do it.
If you send your 'Dan to Tim, you need to just forget about it. Before you know it, the 6-8 weeks will over & you'll have an even better shooter than before back in your hands.

As for the Leupold scope, the one you list only has a 3.7-4.2" eye relief. Won't work as scout mounted scope. You need to look for a pistol scope so that you get a somewhere between 12-20" eye relief.

Oh and by the way tonight I took a fat grey squirrel from 36yd after zeroing the Hawk Vantage 2-7×32mm. This is the 82 Streak.. JSBs 13.73gr 8 pumps and slap! I was super impressed.. I knew it had the power but in my 37yrs had never done it or seen it done. Unfortunately he rolled down the icy cliff and onto the lake.. well out of my reach :/ no snacks for me this time. I really do not like the feeling that gives me inside tho in all seriousness but these jumpers are about perfect!!!

Here is the 82' sporting the Baker Airguns mount and my Hawke Vantage 2-7x32mm

Since your 'Dan is an '82, isn't it already set up for a Williams?

FamilyMan811 · « **Reply #83 on:** March 26, 2018, 11:50:54 PM »

Nice catch!! Coulda swore that was the long eye relief..

Spotted this Burris..

And a more affordable 150 dollar Vortex Crossfire but don't like the parallax setting at 100 yd..

Any suggestions?

Talking my '80 (bottom)

The 82 has it..Also shoots 12fpe 640s with JSBs..

The 80 is about 9 FPE and un tapped so I'd send it..

If you really want to drop $300 + on a scope, the Burris would be okay for eye relief (11-21"), the Vortex not so much at only 9.45".

If you're set on scout mounting a scope & you'd like to save a dollars, you may want to check out some pistol scopes by Swift, Simmons, Nikon...

19Sheridan57 · « **Reply #86 on:** March 27, 2018, 07:26:09 AM »

I may be mistaken, but I think it was 1984 when they started being drilled & tapped.

According to this you are correct. The gentleman I purchased it from had said 82' .. I have yet to really trace the serial number. Question in my mind is how likely is it that someone would have had it drilled in tapped.. or is it factory and an 84 lol? I'll have to dig deeper.

Certainly don't want to was hoping for $150-200 .. im still disappointed that Leopold wasn't a scout or pistol... could have sworn...oh well. I'll continue the search. I seen a few by the off brands like NC Star... Hammers, and Tac Vector... didn't really want to go that route either.

They could have gotten it from the factory with the Williams as an option, or had it done after they received it. I have never drilled & tapped one . I don't have a drill press & would not try it without one.

This 1980 ad shows it as an option;

My ‘79 Silver Streak is drilled/tapped. I don’t know how or when it was done. I also didn’t know you could order them already set up for a William’s sight. Seems there are a lot of variables possible with these rifles.

19Sheridan57 · « **Reply #91 on:** March 27, 2018, 11:36:10 AM »

Yes . If you are VERY lucky & but an old one in the original box, it may be stamped something like , " C9W ," with Weaver Scope , or " C9SH " with peep. If you want a SUPER RARE Sheridan, find a left handed model with factory scope or peep sight !!

" C9W ," with Weaver Scope , or " C9SH " with peep.

Steve, would it be if stamped that way if it were made before 1991?
I thought that is when they started calling them C9's?

Scott,
You may be right, that they just left out that 9. So , CB = Blue Streak, CS= Silver

Model C = Silver Streak
Model CW = Silver Streak with Williams receiver sight
Model CS = Silver Streak with scope

Model CB = Blue Streak
Model CBW = Blue Streak with Williams receiver sight
Model CBS = Blue Streak with scope

The C9 is a different model and follows the same format with a "9" added at end of model designator.

Another option, is mounting a " Red Dot scope." I have one on one of mine. Mine doe not magnify, but does allow you to get on target quickly, & easier. If you are shooting targets, it is not that great since the dot may totally obscure a small target. Also, works best if your eyes are not too bad. Squirrels run when they see me with it.

Habanero69er · « **Reply #98 on:** March 28, 2018, 06:03:49 PM »

Steve, what red dot do you have? I had tried an UTG red dot before, but as you stated, the dot was too big & covered the bullseye/squirrel head.

19Sheridan57 · « **Reply #99 on:** March 29, 2018, 06:35:34 AM »

This is the 63 rifle with the Red / Green Dot scope. It was on it when I got it. It is a Center Point Model 72602 . This is also the other hard shooting Sheridan that I have. Notice the year correct BROWN handguard.
