This may have been covered before, but it sure would be nice to have some sort of a reference. I am making this thread as a quick reference for myself and others that have had issues figuring out what mount to use on your model 70 rifle. This is not an extensive list. Just one with part numbers of parts I've used over the years and I know they all work well.
Standard and featherweight pre 64 model 70's requiring bases with the .860" (".865" according to Rule) hole spacings:
1. Leupold dual dovetail matte finish: Part # 50046
2. Leupold dual dovetail gloss finish: Part # 50045
3. Leupold PRW mount/base matte finish: Part # 49838
4. Leupold dual dovetail long rear mount standard front: Part # 40506
5. Leupold dual dovetail silver finish: Part # 57286
6. Talley lightweights (medium): Part # 940702
7. Weaver front base: #46
8. Weaver rear base: #47
9. Weaver front and rear set (matte): Part # 48468
10. Warne Maxima front and rear matte: Part# M902/924M
11. Talley steel bases: Part # 252702
12. Conetrol bases: Part # 70 series (70-1, 70H2, 70G2, 70L2, 70C2, 70F2)
Note: These bases work on post 64 model 70's as well, as long as they have the typical .860" hole spacings (front and rear the same spacing). This does not include the Express model or WSSM.
Pre 64 model 70 H&H models with factory drilled and tapped receiver requiring .435" spacing on rear mount. These may also fit the target model or national match model with .435" (.425" according to Rule) rear hole spacing and clip slot:
1. Leupold QRW: Part # 49836
2. Talley lightweight lows: Part # 930704
3. Warne Maxima matte finish: Part # M902/818M
4. Leupold "detachable accuracy mounts" (matte): Part # 50062
5. Talley steel bases matte finish: Part # 252704
Keep in mind, these do not fit post 64 rifles. They require a rear mount that has a different hole spacing (.330").
These are just some of the part #'s I have used. Except for the Conetrols, I am new to that mounting system. They look great and seem to be solid. The same can be said for S&K. If you can find either of these sets for under $200.00, you are doing well. With this being said, my suggestion is to generally use the DD's on the standard and fwt rifles and weaver style on the H&H magnums. Hopefully this is useful to some here.
