I have a new super grade in 3006. I was just in the process of putting on my gloss rings and bases. Once I got them on, I noticed that none of my scopes would fit. The gap from the ring ends is 6". I cant fing a scope body to fit that in gloss. The rings and bases are leupold. Should I just turn the rear base around? That would give me some clearance but it will make the base hang over the opening to the chamber. Thanks.

If I turn the rear base around, A spent case will hit the base and fall back in the gun. I just tried it with an empty. Guess I'll have t buy different rigns or bases.

For hunting rifles I also use Talley. I like the one piece aluminum the best. Years later and a lot or rounds downrange even my 338RUM has not needed re-tightening -- I do use blue locktite on em.

Here ya go. You can reverse the front base & it will not interfere W/ejection of spent cases or loading of cartridges.
