Hello, rifle newbie here.
I have on order a couple of rimfires to get me started on rifles. I plan on killing lots of paper at the range, typically at 100 yards. I have the rifles on the way & the scopes, but trying to figure out just want to order for mounts/rings is a bit of a mystery to this handgunner.
Rifle 1
Weatherby Mark XXII .17 HMR + Leupold 4.5x-14 40mm scope
Rifle 2
Remington BDL 552 Speedmaster .22 + Nikon Prostaff 3x9 40mm scope
The Weatherby docs say it has an 11mm dovetail rail. I could order a set that they offer on their own site, but I was wondering if a Leupold ring set would work, and if so, what base I needed.
For the Remington, the user manual & site just says "Receiver grooved for scope mounts for precision shooting with optics".
Probably the answers are obvious to anyone that knows that they are doing, but that's not me. At least its not another "what caliber is best for bears" thread!
Appreciate any help.
