I had a 264 win mag built on a pre 64 action, but the smith destroyed the receiver and replaced it with an earlier model so my scope bases no longer fit. Originally it was a 1960 westerner action, he replaced it with a 1955 standard action and used my old bolt. Not happy with his solution but it is what it is. Does anyone have the Leupold part number for the DD mounts that fit a 1955 standard action?
Thanks.

I think you’re correct, the post 64 bases seem to interchange on the Pre’s except for the long H&H.

Email sent Jkob. My action has a wider hole spacing for the front base than the rear one. The mounts I had on the old action were the same spacing front and rear.

It shouldnt, unless he used an H&H receiver.

I just compared it to my 1952 30-06 and the rear hole spacing is much closer together on the 264 win mag. Could it be an H&H? In which case I’m stoked. I’d be happy to email pictures if you’d like.

So after a bunch of searching, the action is from a 1955 30-06 target rifle and is slotted for stripper clips in the rear. Any ideas what scope mounts will work?

I am fairly certain that pre 64 H&H Mag and pre 64 Target actions use the same base. These would be .425" hole spacing on the rear. They would be for pre 64 Win 70 H&H actions above 87,200 serial number or there abouts. Might be above 102,000 serials on the H&H. I have my rifleman's rifle on loan. Measure your hole spacing on the rear bridge. I think I have a set of those bases if it is .425" spacing.

ETA: I have a set of dual dovetail Leupolds for a 1955 H&H model 70 action. $25.00 shipped

Yes my rear spacing is .425, I’ll gladly take those bases off your hands as I already have the DD rings. Pm inbound.
