What are you using for scope base and ring setup on the Kimber 84L?

I have Talley bases & screw lock detachable lows on Kimber Montana's in 7mm-08, 325 WSM, and 338 Win mag. I have the same on my M70's.

I have Talley Lightweights on most of my rifles.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Is the 84M and 84L taking the same base?

I am not sure. Talley may have the information on their website. If not, I would call them. Very friendly and helpful folks in my experience.

Now that was fun to look at. Informative too. Thanks.

I have Talley Lightweights on all my Montana's,except my latest. I went with Talley steel base/rings. I wanted to add weight to the rifle.

What’s the actual outer diameter? Should be somewhere in the 44-48mm range depending on the scope. (On most manufacturers websites)

What are you using for scope base and ring setup on the Kimber 84L?
I have used both Talley Lightweight (Lows) or Burris Zee Rings (Low) / Warne Weaver Bases when I wanted a bit more weight in the rifle.

Calipers are a wonderful tool!!!
Talley Lightweight Mediums for sure... you could buy lows if you are feeling brave =]
I always have trouble with scope position on long actions and 2 piece base setups. you might go with mediums just to give you a little more latitude without having to worry about the bell hitting the base on the talleys.
or I'd go with a warne 2 pc base (the lowest I think you can buy) and then any rings you want that are .25" or greater from the top of the base to the bottom of the scope tube.

I appreciate your advise but it doesn't satisfy my question. Is the 84M and 84L taking the same base?
Thanks Jim
