Well, I found a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36mm in my stash still in the box, no clue where I got it or when.
What Talley Lightweight mounts can I get away with, Extra Low or Low?
That's essentially the same size as the scope on mine, now, an older Vari-X III.
Don't know Telly measurements, but if it helps, Warne low rings work on my Model 70, plenty of clearance even for the 40mm objective when I had the 3.5-10x on there.
Mine's a .338 Win Mag, so I haven't bothered to look at lightweight scope rings for it.
I’m runnin 1.75/6 leupold on mine.
Mine wears a 1.75-6X Leupold as well.
Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten, earlier. I had a 1.75-6x32 Vari-X III on mine for a while too. Heavy Duplex reticle (although I've since changed the reticle and repurposed that scope).
FWIW, all for our the 1" Vari-X III or current VX-3i scope have approximately the same ocular lens size.
