I am having some scope mount issues with my Browning High Power. It's a .308 Safari grade with a Sako action. I think back when I did research on it it was made in 1964 or 1969. This is what the scope mount looks like on a similar rifle...

There is a rail that screws to the top of the gun and the scope rings mount to the top of the rail. The rear ring is clamped in place by two screws on the rail. The metal on the rear ring where the screws clamp it in place has worn out over the years and now no matter how tight the screws are the ring will not hold steady. So I can't sight the gun in because the ring wants to work itself out after a few shots and shift the entire scope. I would like to replace the whole mounting setup, but I can't figure out how to get the forward scope ring off the bar. It's covers the screws that hold the bar to the gun and I have to get the forward ring off to get the bar off. So does anyone have any idea how the front ring comes off and where I can find a replacement mounting setup that will fit? I would really like to find something where both rings screw to the gun so this doesn't happen again. Thanks.
