PA	I took the old 6x36 LR off my Montana 270 and want to try out a new to me Z3 3.5-10x42 scope and there is no way Talley low's will work. I have several other guns were Talley lows work with this scope but not the Kimber, I also have a Z3 4-12x50 to try but at this rate I think I will need highs... Anyone else running into this issue with Montana's? Ted

Roll Tide Roll, now lets go hunting!!!
