I have a 10 year old model 70 Winchester 7mm mag long action of course with 26 " contoured barrel which is a great hunting rifle for the 100 to 300 yard shots we get here.
I have gone from a Nikon BDC 3x9 40mm to a Leupold VX-R 3X9 50mmFireDot. The original
is great but will go on another rifle of mine soon enough. The reason for changing is not relevant
to the question.
The Leupold is a 30mm tube so original rings wont work of course.
I have always had trouble getting the correct set up for 30mm tube scopes especially the 50mm
throws me for a loop as to how high the rings will raise the scope with weaver type mounts under
them.
Weaver style one piece with lots of options are a must for me. Or were till now.
Now I find out Winchester model 70 long action full length weaver mounts are hard to find &
even get what you order! I ordered just that & it came in a short action which tells me they probably
didn't have any long action versions in the first place.
How do I know what the clearance will be with the 50mm & the barrel without it ending up way too
high or to close?
I have put scopes on all my life but 300mm stump me for some reason.
I have gone brain dead on this one.
I have all the Wheeler stuff for scopes.
