I am not able to provide you the information you requested on Winchester Model 70 and using Talley's. However, I just mounted a short Leupold M8 2.5x compact on a CZ Safari. Before I ordered the scope mounts I called Talley up and they were very helpful in determining what I needed. The scope and mounts work great!

I switched over 10 rifles to Talley's in the last few months and will continue to switch over remainder. You can call Talley...get their number off the Internet ....JJS

Sorry, noticed you were in Sweden after I posted...You can also e-mail them!!!

358 Norma,

I have Talley QD's on a M70 Classic 375 H&H (with .330 rear hole spacing). With these mounts my Leupold VX III 1.75-6 x 32 just fits & tube length is 5.39 inches. Almost no adjustment avail for eye relief so lucky the relief is generous on Leupolds. My first scope choice was the Leup 2.5-8 with tube length of 5.1inch, that was too short to fit.

With the 1.75-6 & the 5.39 inch tube length I have about 0.1 inch adjustment & that's all.

As to how high I don't know, mine are low. I know a 3-9 x 40 Vari X III will clear easy, so you may be OK with Lows. You probably know already but Talley lows aren't really that low.

Regards
John

358,



Talley has a front extension base that moves the front ring back for the scopes with short tubes. I use one on my 458 Lott from the Winchester Custom shop to mount a Schmidt & Bender 1.5-6x42mm scope. And I am using the Low rings. This set-up should work fine for your application.

358 Norma, The Talley 1"rings on my 375 H&H Classic Stainless are 5.283inches or 134.18mm from the rear of the rear ring to the front of the front ring. the 30mm rings should have the same spacing. I believe that you will want the Low rings. I've got a call in to my buddy to see if the lows worked with his 30mm rings and 50mm scope I'll post back when I get a reply.......DJ

OK, thanks for your replies.
My Nikon tube measures 131,4mm or 5,1732 inches, so that leaves me with no other option: Get the Talley extension setup. Problem solved!
