dunganick Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 they look like leupold mounts, and that being a rem 700 the mount holes are differently spaced on the reciever for the front and rear mount. So i dont think you can :( you could fit a weaver rail and then buy weaver mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidsalmon Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Assuming you have dovetale scope mounts, then take the current rifles mounts off and put some of these on: Mounts You can get some like that from jsramsbottoms i think, SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front ring is the one that is stopping it coming back any more, and from the picture it looks like there is some more backward movement left in that base - is there not??

will1992 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Good excuse for a new scope!! :unsure: :blink: Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 As said above, All you need to do is turn the back mount round, and put it on the front, then put the front mount on the back and you will have loads more movement.

dunganick Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) the holes on the rem 700 are differently spaced for the front and rear mount (or at least the rem 700 mounts i have are) so you cant swap the two around, you could reverse the front one but its the same which ever way around you put it. unless the action has more mounting holes the front mount cannot be moved forwards or backwards.

Hunter Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) Guns are as bad as computers! you need adaptors for everything... If you fitted a weaver rail it would have to be two parts? because otherwise it would get in the way of the ejection port (or whatever they call it on a bolt action rifle) Edited April 24, 2006 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
