I have several pre 64 M70 ‘s that I’ve scoped with Leupold vx 3 2.5x8’s. All are standard length actions. The stocks on all these guns are unaltered with factory LOP. On all I have had to use rear extended rings to keep from stock crawling to get the scopes full field of view. I don’t really like the extension look over the mag port and was wondering what others have used on their guns that combine function with looks….dual dovetails? Weaver style fixed?
I have other similar size scopes that have comparable eye relief as the Leupolds that I would like to use. I know I’ll use medium ring height. What works for you? Thanks in advance!
