Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Is it possible to use Redfield Widefield on a 1951 model 70?

I have a 2x7 Redfield Widefield I would like too mount on my 1951 model 70 in .270 When I bought the rifle,it had a Weaver KV scope with 2 pc Weaver mounts.The scope rings are Weaver steel detachable low rings.I see there is not much clearance between the bolt and scope with this rig.There is no way my Widefield scope with the wide "TV" eyepiece will work using whats on the rifle.I want to use the the lowest scope rings possible.If I have to use High Rings in order to have clearance,then I will be looking for another scope.Will be using it for whitetails this Fall.Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
