Romanian M1969 trainer .22 rifle - scope mount?

Simmons 4x power, 1 inch diameter) The rail measures about 5/16". I've tried
a few 3/8" scope mounts and so far none of them seem to fit tight enough. If
you have any suggestions please post. Thanks!

different rimfire ring sets and none work.
I haven't had the time to go looking for them, but I have some cheap mounts
that look like two number "3's" . When you fit them together, the top holds
the scope and the bottom grips the dovetail. A single allen screw goes through
the middle of the "3".
These should work because there isn't any limit to how far you can close them.

Try to get Lynx mounts made in Austrailia. I have a several BRNO .22
rimfire rifles that have this dove tail and this is what I have used.
It seems to be an east European standard.
I believe the dovetail is 5/8" rather than 3/8" or 3/4"

mounts will not work. You can get one from Century
International Arms 800-527-1252

I, also, tried to scope this rifle. I used the same scope as you did,
which was previously attached to my ruger 10/22. Those rings obviously
didn't work, so I bought some cheap Tasco rings for 9 bucks. They fit,
however, the Romanian rail seems to be poorly manufactured; it's not
always the same width all the way down the rail, the "notches" for the
scope rings to grip onto aren't very generous, so even with the scope
attached, it wasn't a very tight fit. It shot reasonably well, and
seemed to hold a zero after 100 rds through the rifle - trouble is, if
i bumped the scope against anything, the rings would just pop off the
rails. Your rifle may differ in quality, so maybe you will have better
results with the same rings. Another problem, I had to mount them in
some silly positions and had the scope in a bad eye relief position
due to one or more of the following: the scope would hit the flip-up
sights and wouldn't sit flat, the scope would interfere with operation
of the bolt handle, or the rings would interfere. All in all, it was
pretty tricky to get the rings and scope on the gun, and then it was
even trickier to get them to stay. If i overtightened the rings, it'd
squeeze off. If i bumped it, it'd pop off. For 9 bucks though, it was
worth a try, but now i'm back to iron sights.
Oh, another thing, some people with the rifle have complained that the
rail isn't even straight down the rifle - sometimes the scope was so
far off zero that there wasn't enough scope windage adjustment
available to get it back to zero. Sometimes if they moved the scope
forward or backward a little, they'd succeed, but basically they
couldn't mount the scope where they wanted to - they had to mount it
where the rifle and scope's limitations allowed it to even be useful.
