Scope Help Requested...

[Guyon]

Anybody put a Leupold 3-9x40 VX-II on a long action (.30-06) Winchester 70?

If so, what kind of mounts did you use? I've tried some Talley Lightweights, but they simply do not allow the scope to mount far enough back for proper eye relief.

What mounts would let me get the scope further back toward the eye?

Yes. Leupold typically has good eye relief. I've just used Leupold's STD mounts with no problems. May need extension rings to move the scope more.

The eye focus on the scope also helps with eye relief (if you can keep it in the focus range for your eye). You may need off set rings in the end if you can't find a happy medium.
