Thanks Docinpa. After some creative searching I found a base/rail that fits my 2021 Colt Anaconda. It attaches over the existing rib. Fits my 8" barrel like a glove and apparently fits 6" barrels too. As a bonus, you can still see the sights under the rail so it is see-through! Mine was painted matte silver (annodized). Here are some photos:

Here's a link showing what I bought. Pretty reasonable for what you get, in my opinion.

Pardon Our Interruption...

Revolver Scope Base Rail for Colt Anaconda Python Taurus 689 with 6-8" non-ported vent rib barrel

A revolver scope base rail in stainless chrome silver finish for the above listed Colt and Taurus revolvers. The rail has 19 ring slots which make it easier to set up eye relief and find more desired placement of scopes or red dot sights on top of the revolver. No drilling is needed. The scope rail is clamped onto the vent rib on the non-ported barrel of 6" to 8" using the hex screws and two steel tabs. The steel tab goes through the openings underneath the vent rib and clamp down by tightening the hex screws. Top rail is compatible with weaver style rings and also will mount red dot sights with weaver style mount. Machined from extruded aluminum alloy. Mounting screws are included with the unit.

Rail type: weaver

Number of ring slots: 19

Overall length: 7 1/2”

Finish: Anodized matte stainless silver

Weight: 2.8oz

Please post a picture of it when you have it mounted your scope. I’d like to compare it with mounts that were offered with the older Anacondas. BTW, I put a Burris 2-7x on my 2002 Anaconda and I usually keep it at 4x or higher when I target shoot at 50 yards.

OK, my CVH8 Weaver 2.5-8 X 28mm Scope finally arrived and I mounted it on my 8" Anaconda. The photos are attached.

Scope mounting to the rings and base/rail seems very solid. The proof will come, of course, when I take it to the range for a test and for sighting in. The nice thing is, I can continue to use the iron sights as well as the Scope since there's a clear line of sight under the base/rail.

My question is, there is just a small gap between each end of the scope and the base/rail (I've circled it in red in two of the photos). It's enough of a gap that I can place a dollar bill in the space and move it freely without getting caught up on anything. Is this enough gap to safely use the scope as I've mounted it, or should I order taller scope rings to give more separation? Thanks for any advice or input you can provide.

Congrats on getting your scope installed. Also, thanks for sharing the pics to compare to the install on my 2002 Anaconda I shared earlier in this thread. There’s limited options for the new Anaconda so you’ve done what you can with what’s available. However, I prefer the cleaner install on my Anaconda. The only downside is you have to remove the rear sight. Enjoy your Anaconda!

Hi, where did you get the rail from? I can’t find one this size. I prefer the look of it over the longer one posted earlier in this thread. Thanks in advance.

I found it on eBay back in 2019. It was identified as a Weaver Top Mount Base #412S (Silver). Good luck.
