Are the scope bases mounted backwards? The windage adjustable rear base is on the front instead of the rear….I don’t recall ever seeing a scope mounted that way and was just curious.
That is a nice looking rifle and I bet she’s accurate. 👍🏼 Yes backwards

Some of the rimfire bases (Leupold, for example) only provide 2 holes for mounting and turning them 180 degrees can provide the required eye relief.

Exact Especially on the Abolt lr using Leupold mounts. I would always have to turn the back (windage) base around to be a or to mount the scope. Although Ive never seen them completely reversed. Additionally with Leupold 22 lr bases for the Abolt, I've had enough of them to say they would ship with 3 screws of one length and a longer one that was too long. Ran into multiple times. Leupold eventually sent with the proper screws

I appreciate the responses guys. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that done….on purpose anyway but if everything else is the same (height of front and rear) I can’t imagine it not working. 👍🏼

I like Dual Dovetail for this purpose. Would love to have another A-Bolt 22. They are great shooters!
God Bless, Louis

If that rifle was in 22 WMR I’d take it in a heartbeat.

Thank goodness no CA sales, I'd be tempted to buy this!
LOL That cracks me up Nothing against the members in CA but my local FFLs most are not certified and those that do hate the red tape I know there is a huge shooting community there at one time I sold moonclips and honestly 50% went to CA I was amazed I wish it was easier to trade with CA members not to mention of course always afraid of CA laws spreading Hank Actually it is no problem for an individual with out an FFL to ship to an FFL in California . I use Pirate Ship to ship Rifles USPS and save about 40% from taking it into the PO and having them figure out the postage . Regardless of all the complaining about USPS , I have never failed to have a package delivered . Sometimes they take longer than stated , but they always make it to their destination.
Its all right to be white!!
