This invention relates to an improved laterally-adjustable ring-type riflescope mount for attachment to rifle barrel receivers of the type having a one part of a dovetail connection atop thereof defined by a planar top surface alongside of which lie a spaced parallel pair of upwardly-divergent longitudinally extending groove walls, said mount being characterized by a base having a planar bottom wall adapted to rest upon the top surface of the receiver in supported relation, a pair of sidewalls, a pair of upwardly and inwardly-convergent internally-threaded sockets in the sidewalls each having the axis thereof perpendicular to their respective upwardly-divergent dovetail groove walls, and a pair of large-headed screws screwed into the sockets with the heads thereof overlapping the upwardly-divergent groove wall lying in opposed relation thereto, these screws cooperating with one another when screwed in tight against the divergent dovetail groove walls to hold the base down snugly atop the receiver, and these same screws when thus tightened providing for lateral adjustment of the base relative to the receiver as one screw is loosened and its companion tightened a corresponding amount.
