Thank you.
You can buy rings from most manfufacturers that will fit the groves in your Browning .
WSS, P&D, Cabelas Etc will have them

Default scout mount

made by browning for attaching to the barrel of the Sa22 so POI doesnt change once sighted in if barrel is not exactly the same positon (adjustable threaded knob) each time mounted to the receiver. Screws on barrel portion with a piece to attach scope to that rises up over the receiver.

Easier to look at than describe so just google Browning SA22 scout mount and about 5 pictures come up

wwbirds is absolutely correct. Mounting the scope on the grooves on the receiver you will never be able to hit a thing. POI will move a lot because the barrels don't lock in real tight if you take them down. If you locktite the barrel in place and don't take the gun apart you can make the receiver mount work. All in though, by far the best option is the Leupold one that attaches to the barrel and does not require the rear sight to be removed. You can take the rifle down without removing the scope or mount. The Browning made one works well too but you have to remove the rear sight to use it. P and D sells both of them.

Top is Leupold, bottom is Browning. The Browning does allow you to set the scope further back as some have had trouble with eye relief with the Leupold one but you can use an extension ring to solve that problem too.





Browning mount installed "Scout" style.
