hi

i am putting a scope on a new rifle.a friend said to use high mounts.now i always mount my scopes as close to the barrel as i can get.always thought that would be more acurate.Listening to my friend i was curious if it matters?Thinking about triing it but it does not seem like it would be beneficial to me.woundering what othere people think. thanks for the time.

    Got a really great deal on a New England Handi Rifle in .308. It had a Simmons scope on it with a set of see through mounts. Real akward to see through the scope with that mount. Want to mount a Weaver K4 on it. Suggestions as to a good mounting system. Keep in mind I'll need clearance for the hammer.

    By the way.......what can I expect to pay for a 20 guage shot gun barrel for it?

    Does anyone know anything about pop off scope mouts?? the ones like they use in the military, where you can take the scope off to store it, and then snap it back on?? are they accurate? Where can you find them?

    I purchased a Rem. 700 and it came with scope mounts. Does anyone use these or is it a recommended practice that I just go out and purchase better ones?

    I just mounted a 3x9-50 scope on a Optima elite with Belgarra barrel. My guestion is how close is too close for the scope bell and barrel clearance? It clears the barrel by 1/16".[:D]

    I have a Browning (Japan) 1885 rifle with 24" half octagon barrel.
    The receiver and barrel are factory drilled & tapped for mounting
    a scope.
    Can anyone tell me which bases and/or mounts will fit this rifle.
    I haven't been able to find information specific to this rifle.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions on this !

    was wondering if rifles such as winchester 70, remington 700..etc that are pre-drilled and tap for scopes are all uniform, so that it i decided to buy a weaver or leupold mount it would work on all.

    I need advice. I have a scope mounted on a Remington MOdel 700 that is shooting at least 8 inches high at 25 yds with the elevation cranked all the way down. I am using Luepold bases and medium height rings, would changing to low mount Luepold rings bring down the point of impact enough to make it useableat say 100 yds?? I am still getting very tight groupings, just way too high

    New to mounting a scope. I ordered a set of leupold rings and bases and they don't fit, the rings are dovetail and the bases are standard which leads me to my question. Which is better, the dovetail with no windage base adjustment or the standard with the windage base adjustment. I am mounting a leupold scope and leupold says that their scopes have enough built in adjustment that you don't need the base windage adjustment. Any commments.

    Uh, no, it doesn't work that way.

    Scope bases are made correctly, rifles are made correctly; if the holes were drilled wrong, that's where the solution is. Find a gunsmith & pay to fix the problem; i.e., have him fill the holes that are wrong, & drill new holes in the right places.

    And, never buy anything from your brother. If he doesn't like you enough to GIVE it to you, get it somewhere else.

    Hello I thought the Savage 110 came factory drilled for scope mounts .As far as rings and mounts the older REDFIELD mounts had a large screw on each side of the rear ring base you could correct windage with this type of mount. Are You sure it is not the scope?

    I'm betting on the improper mounts. They should have a number or other identifying marks that will confirm the rifle they were made for. If rifle was improperly drilled, get a correct mount without the holes drilled yet. Then drill to match the rifle, not the other way around. Nothing uglier than extra holes in a good gun.

    I think your trouble may be the scope base I to have a 110 and the base is offset. Make sure that you have the right parts on the right gun good luck.[:o)]
