We "inherited" a 1.25 X 4 X 24mm (30MM tube) Schmidt & Bender Illuminated scope and want to mount it on a Model 70 post 64 .375 H&H. The ocular end is 3.70" long. It's also 1.69 diameter the full length of the Ocular end. How does one mount it far enough forward to avoid Weatherby Eye?

Rich, give these folks a call; S&K Scope Mounts Rd 2 Box 72E Sugar Grove, Pa.16350 tel 1-800-578-9862 Fax 1-814-489-5466. www.scopemounts.com. They are not afraid of the out of the ordinary. Charlie

I have the same scope and used Leupold QD bases and low 30mm rings which withstood the toughest testing in Zim and gives the lowest possible mount.

Thanks for the info . There's a helpful thread on this going on right now in the African Hunting Forum

"Mod 70 Safari Express rings/bases; help required"
