Gunsmithing Pre-64 Win Mod 70 Scope Base

[Hundo]

When building a custom pre-64, what do you guys do for scope bases. Chad Dixon is going to build me 2 heavy recoiling rifles (33 Nosler and 300 PRC) and I have been all over the internet looking for "period correct" bases that I feel comfortable with. At this point, maybe Chad can just machine something.

pre-war or post war?

PS One action is a 1962 (33 Nosler), the other is being sourced. I am am hoping a .375 H&H length action can accommodate 300 PRC. Will make a hell of an Elk/Moose rifle.

One was built in 1962. It was originally a 30-06. The one I am sourcing will be .375 H&H length and don't know the year.

Almost any modern long action base should work for the 1962 action. H&H ‘s are a different matter. They used different rear hole spacing over the years, but Chad could change that.

I use a one piece weaver style rail on my gun (30-338 win mag)

I have some extra H&H bases that are vintage Redfield. PM me if interested.

Thanks for that. Their stuff will work because I need 35mm rings
