pigeonbasher1 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 picked up my new howa .243 yesterday, it came with a weaver type rail and a set of nikko sterling medium 30mm mounts, i mounted my swarovski 8x50 scope, but dont like the amount of clearance between barrel and scope, is there any other option of mounts to bring the scope closer to the barrell, thanks in advance, ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth6568 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) I had the same problem, get rid of the weaver mount and get some steel two piece Warner mounts and bases. You will need some locktite to secure them. It will bring the height down and these mounts are excellent for the money. Go for the medium/large size ones again as your objective lens is quite big, you'lll need to check this.

Dougy Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I've got a pair of QR mounts that will very likely fit in the for sale section . They were for a 50mm scope and came off a howa ;-) £45 posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 How far off the barrel is it PB1? There can be advantages to having high mounts! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
