[quote=Capt_Craig]The biggest problem you’re going to face is finding a decent scope with enough mounting length to mount on your rifle without going with a rail and tac style rings. Currently there are quite a few scopes made that are good, but with tubes so short they struggle to mount on even a short action without going with a rail. Can you tell I hate rails, high mounted scopes, and all that come with them, especially on a truly lightweight hunting rifle? [/quote
There's plenty of ways around getting a short scope mounted nice and low on a long action without using a rail. I've used Warne extended bases, Talley LW extended, Leupold DD extended rings, Burris multislot bases.
