    Scope mounting problem with Savage Axis

    I bought my girlfriend a new Savage Axis chambered in .243. It is a synthetic/stainless model. The scope that came with it from Cabelas was garbage so we decided to upgrade to a better scope and also one that is silver in color to match the stainless barrel. When the new scope arrived, I...

    Winchester Model 64A <---insight needed!!

    My model 94 has the two small holes at the left rear, and also a larger one on the left front that is used to mount the side mount scope. These are all factory holes and the rifle has never been drilled for scope mounting....the weaver side mount uses these 3 factory screws.
