I have a Pre 64 M 70 chambered in .375 H & H Magnum on which I am planning to mount a Leupold VX 111 1.75-6X variable scope. This rifle has the original Winchester African express sights. What type of bases and rings are recommended?

I have a similar gun in 300H/H and use a Redfield one piece base with Redfield rings.....lapped and aligned.....If your gun is below 66,000 serial number it takes a different base than above and 375/300 use different base than std chambering.....with that scope you should not get interference with the sights.....and that scope has good eye relief for mounting for safe clearance for recoil....hth..good luck and good shooting!!

I would strongly recommend Talley QR style rings with levers. They are very well made, will remove with the turning of 2 levers, and return to zero. They are very strong rings and bases. I've used them on 375's, 416's and 458's with zero problems. Good people too.........................DJ

Same as the above.

Talley QD

Talley is what I got on my rifle over here and at home. Well worth the extra $$$ for the quality/durability.

I really don't like take off mounts, but I would still use Talley, but without the QD ring set.
