Hello I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get Rings/bases for a Colt Light Rifle bolt action. The ones that came with the gun are like a medium set and I need a high set. Also are there any Weaver type bases that will fit? Thanks for any information.....God Bless the USA

Well that's perplexing since my notes have it that they are the Remington 700 contour, both front and rear. Sorry about that! I'll look further and see what I can turn up.
In the mean time, if you have a pair of calipers, you can put the screws in the holes and measure the distance between the outside of both screws then subtract ONE screw diameter. This gives you the center-to-center distance. Is it possible to drill a new clearance hole in the mount without drilling into one of the other holes? If it is, that's what I would do. First make sure that the mounts are level to each other.
Otherwise you have to look for a single mount with the correct hole spacing and height and buy it. It would be easier to do the above (one hole) or get a blank mount the correct height and drill both holes with the correct spacing.
Best.
