I don't have it it front of my yet to check, so does anyone know what size the screws are to mount it to the receiver on the win70? I need to make or order some plug screws.

If I was home I could help you out, but I am a long way from there and won't be back for four weeks.
They use two types and they do not necessily inter change. The really slick jobs use an oversized head turned to tight dia. and the head milled off smooth with the base face. The easier type is just a slot head screw and I am thinking 10 or 12 by maybe 24. Anyway G&H can sell and ship you the proper ones.

Great mounts. Love them

10-32, from memory which I guarantee you a .5 probability of accuracy.

Don,

I have better luck reaming the holes with a taper pin reamer then driving in O1 or 4140 plugs they will completely disappear.

Nick it is going off to the laser welder, then to get the lettering recut. Pre-64 .375, the weld asked it to be plugged a few thou shy of the service on both sides. My friend is picking it up in the morning and off to the welder weds, but I am leaving for deer camp tue am. So I need to have the screws ready for him tomorrow. I was thinking of threading some 1018, then just cutting to length and make a shallow slot to install them.

This is on the G&H Website: Not sure if it helps.

"Installation should be done only by a competent gunsmith.

TOOLS REQUIRED

#29 drill (#298)
#21 drill
#10 drill
#0 tapered reamer
9/32" counterbore

Remove barrel and action from stock. Mount scope into rings, and assemble sidemount together. Center base to loading port and clamp to action. Adjust to height desired and boresight. Top of base should be parallel to base of action and trued to perpendicular. Adjust scope so that rear on eyepiece is over the tang. Be sure to allow enough vertical clearance for the bolt to operate and clear the eye piece of the scope. Mark the front and rear of the base at the tangent point of the radius on the action.

Remove base and mill a radius in it to match the contour of the action. Clamp scope and mount to the action in desired position, aligning for parallelism, perpendicularity, clearance and location as above; then reboresight. In the set clamped position, drill 2 holes for #0 tapered pins with a #298 drill through base and action (see drawing for location) and ream holes with #0 tapered reamer and insert pins.

Drill 3 holes with #21 drill through base and action (see drawing). Remove base and tap the 3 holes in action with a 10-32 tap. "
