Nope..flat based

Flat on top only or flat on top and both sides?

Many airguns, today, are flat on top with a dovetail groove on each side to
take an airgun-style clamp-on scope/aimpoint/laser sight. (The dovetail
runs the length of the receiver instead of perpendicular to the receiver.)

A short stop at a Wal-Mart will give you an idea of how these things attach
since they carry both airguns and airgun scopes/mounts.


Flat on top of the barrel. Im not a big fan of putting a optical
sight on top of something not firmly attached to the tube the
projectile comes out of.

Break action spring guns come to mind as one of the major cases.

That barrel gets even a bit wobbly, doesnt lock up to the receiver
each and every time the same way...that optical sight is worthless
