I recently recovered one of my stolen firearms however it came back to me sans scope and mount. It formerly wore a vintage Leupold ring and base set and a Balvar 2.5x8 scope.

I am looking for the original Leupold rings and base so I don't have to re-drill the receiver. This rifle isn't a safe queen by any means, it just needs to be made whole again.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You might try NECG.

I kind of thought this originally, don't think it happened in this particular case (doesn't mean it didn't) but the person who stole them probably was the one that removed them.

Funny is this mount will only fit this particular firearm.

I called him and left a message. Thanks again.

John, Steve called me back and said he didn't currently have one, but he would keep an eye out for one. He also gave me a doable option if we can't locate a Leupold. Thanks again!
