HELP WITH BASE: Winch. Mod 70 PRE 64

[Mattrmvpd]

Hey guys... Here is the story.

I have a PRE 64 Winchester Model 70 (chambered in .308 and IS a LONG ACTION)

The receiver at the rear IS drilled for the iron sights and I have BOTH the front and the rear.

The TOP of the barrel and the receiver JUST after the chamber are FACTORY drilled for a base.


THE MEASURE MENTS OF THE HOLES:

Front (ON THE BARREL) Measures APPROXIMATELY 15mm (center to center)

Receiver (Just after the chamber) Measures APPROXIMATELY 20mm (center to center)

I am wanting to mount bases to this so that I can put a scope on it.

The holes ON TOP of the receiver will cause the base to sit HIGHER than the one on the barrel. I know that bases are made for these but I have had a HELL of a time finding the right ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Matt (LEO SOUTH GA.)

Do a search for Stith Mounts. They use the holes for the receiver sight for the back ring, and the rear sight dovetail on the barrel for the front ring.



It may limit the type of scope you can use, but it is a rock steady system.

The holes originally drilled on these old guns were for scope blocks for mounting external adjustment type target scopes (ie Unertl, Lyman, etc.)

My barrel does NOT have the dovetail type front on the barrel. Its tapped normally. Let me know if there is something else....

Thanks

Can you post pics of your rifle so I can see the hole set-up?
