I'm in the process of planning my next building.
My latest piece of sporting equipment is a rough looking Remington 700 synthetic that has had a Dulux overhaul by perhaps one of South Australia's least known artists ... but that's another story.
I'm after ideas about mounting scopes to Rem 700 actions.
I have a Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5 to 20 x 60
and the AO. adjuster adds size to that 60mm because its soo beefy.
The standard Rem 700 scope setup seems to be a front and rear adapter the rear adapter having windage adjustment to which scope rings mounted ... looks like plenty of things to come loose and move, not that I've ever had this happen on my other Rem 700.
I'm thinking one pictinny? rail that is so tough it actually ads rigidity to the action, it will need a concaved base to suit the round 700 action, topped with quality rings tall enough for the scope to just clear the rifle. I'm happy to drill and tap the action for bigger or more screws if it's going to make it a more accurate or more rigid build.
Has anyone seen products that sound like what I'm looking for ?
Perhaps someone might have seen a better way to mount scopes to Rem 700's ... please tell.
