I'm looking for a new scope with a long tube for my older (pre accu-trigger, flat back receiver) Savage 110 long action rifle. It originally came with a Simmons 32 mm objective scope, but it now has a Redfield Revolution 4-12x40 scope (which is a pretty nice scope-especially at what I paid for it.)
The problem is that, with long action, I don't have adjustment of the scope position forward and back on the mounts. I only have about 2" from the turret to either bell. I want to push the scope further forward to get the right eye relief for the cheek weld that fits me. I can't do it because the rear bell and power adjustment ring bumps up against the rear scope ring.
My shopping thus far turns up only scopes nearly identical in dimensions to what I already have. who makes a scope that has a longer tube, (e.g. longer than the 5.6" on my Redfield) and longer distances between the turret and the bell? (e.g. longer than the 2.3" on my Redfield.) I think I need at least another inch.
I hope my only option isn't a picatinny type rail.
