Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Deluxe: scope suggestions?

Hello Everyone,

I just bought a new in the box Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Deluxe in a .270 WSM. It is a 2008 Limited Edition. Now I need to mount a scope on it. I want to stay American, so I was leaning to a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40mm. I like the BDC recitals so this model would be the LR Duplex. Now where I'm at a loss is the base and rings. I have some basic weaver bases (aluminum). Are these crap? Should I buy Leupold base and rings? What size is apropriate for a model 70 short action? Iv'e read both medium and low... dose anyone have a similar rig that would know? Thank you all for your help... here is some pics of my new Model 70

Any suggestions and help would be great. Any thoughts on the rifle altogether would be welcome as well.
