I’ve just purchased a Winchester 1885 Hi-Grade 22LR; the high wall replica Winchester had made in Japan. What scope bases are available that fit it requiring no additional drill & tapping?

Only thing I can think of are mounts that go into the two dovetails? What type of scope are you wanting to mount?

If there aren’t any pre drilled holes I don’t know what to suggest.

There are two more under the rear sight. You have to remove the sight.  Winchester mount # 63502 will fit the four pre-drilled holes.  The dovetails are 0.50″ for rings
