First off I have already broken my New Years "Resolution" by buying another firearm!
I did the same thing last year (broke my resolution to stop buying guns, also in the first week of that year!).
I am weak.
Anyway I ran across a beautiful mint perfect Anschutz 1517 in caliber 17 HMR with a heavy 25.5" stainless barrel. This dandy has a two stage trigger and the final stage pull is consistent (and incredibly crisp!) at 20 ounces!
I can't wait to shoot it but have to mount a scope first.
The action has factory drilled holes for mounts and it is also grooved - but I think with the non-existent recoil I will try the grooved receiver path first.
I have next to NO experience with quality grooved receiver rings/ring bases for a one inch scope (Leupold 6.5x20x40m/m).
Its been decades since I mounted a scope on a rimfire grooved receiver.
My Remington 40-X, my Kimber H/S, SVT, 82's and 82-G, my Sako P-94-S, my CZ's, my Ruger Americans, 10/22's and 77's all use drilled receiver bases for scope ring mountings. I am out of the grooved receiver rings loop I guess.
Suggestions needed please.
Thanks in advance.
Hold into the wind
