Subject: Scope / mounts for a Savage 110 Long Action 270?
Posted: August/19/2013 at 08:35
My nephew has an older flat back Savage in 270. I pulled the old scope off and picked up a Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40. When I tried to mount it in the mounts that were already on the gun, it just barely fit between the rings and it was mounted too far forward. The original mounts/rings were Leupolds. I bought Talley Lightweight extended rings in low and that doesn't work either as the power ring or the objective bell hit the base of the rings.
Any suggestion on mounts/rings to use for the Vortex or, if not, a good scope that has a longer mounting area than the Vortex?
Thanks,
Mike
