RollandMartini Cadet scope question
I have a Martini that I built into 7-30 Waters and am having trouble finding a scope mount setup that will allow the ejected cartridge to clear the scope. I have a butt stock that will allow a higher mounting just haven't found a combination that works. I a currently using a Weaver base that is mounted on the barrel. So have anyone solved this problem?
This is the setup I have currently on it.

loud-n-boomerHi Rolland.
I have one in 7-30 Waters, as well. I have Warne mounts on mine, and used the highest rings I could get. My suggestion is to get a set of extra high rings to fit your base, and see if that solves the issue.

loud-n-boomerMine has a rib on the barrel milled for the Warne rings. From your photo, I don't think your bases are significantly lower than my rib. If your base takes Weaver rings, look for the extra high rings that are used on flat top ARs.

Vol717I use Talley one piece bases for scope bases on Martinis and other single shots, like Borchardts and Highwalls. As a bonus, you can put a Talley aperture sign in place of the rear ring.
