Hiya, Im a newbie.
Heres my question: I picked up a savage 116 lh in 300 win mag. The 2pc weaver mounts are too far apart to have a scope fit. I oriented the bases so the notches for the rings are as close as possible, but both my simmons scopes have too short of a distance between the bells that house the lenses. They are full size scopes, a 2x8x44mm and a 2x10x50mm.
Im thinking that either the bases are wrong (need maybe extented front base? )
Theres no difference in the overall lengths of scopes, are there??
Thanks much!
MIke
