I have an older stainless mini 14 and am looking for a scope mount for it. It is not a Ranch model. I also do not want any picatinny style mounts. Can anyone please suggest a scope mount for this? I would like it to be silver to match the mini's stainless finish. Thank you.

Link to Weaver mounts.

This may work for you depending on your serial number. This mount will not fit 180 series or Ranch rifles.

Everything, I think, that goes on a standard mini-14 to mount a scope is going to be kind of funky....

One choice, even though it will be a little more costly is to get an ATI stock and mount a scout type scope (long eye relief) on the fore grip.

If you are dead set against a picatinny/weaver style mount (like the Amega or Ultimak Scout rails) then you are basically out of luck. You could try one of those BSquare or Weaver side-saddle mounts but those use a Picatinny/weaver style rail as well.

You might be able to have a gunsmith find a way to drill and tap your receiver for scope mounts. If so I have not seen one that was modified in this way.

Or you can Trade for a newer Mini or Ranch rifle with the built in mounts.

I have the B-Square type on my old mini SS and it works well ( but has picatinny rail) which is actually nice so you can adjust scope eye relief easy , and you can still use iron sites below.
But, I do wish it was cut for scope mounts like the newer models.
