My nephew has an older flat back Savage in 270. I pulled the old scope off and picked up a Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40. When I tried to mount it in the mounts that were already on the gun, it just barely fit between the rings and it was mounted too far forward. The original mounts/rings were Leupolds. I bought Talley Lightweight extended rings in low and that doesn't work either as the power ring or the objective bell hit the base of the rings.
Any suggestion on mounts/rings to use for the Vortex or, if not, a good scope that has a longer mounting area than the Vortex? Thanks, Mike |

Might want to consider DNZ. I have them on my Vortex and they work awesome. Mine is a short action, but I know they have em for long action too. Good luck!

I have the DNZ mounts on a few rifles and while they are great, I do not think they will give me the spacing I'm looking for on this particular rifle.
Thanks, Mike |

Can you mount a pic rail on the Savage and then get a set of TPS (or comparable) rings?

I can mount an EGW rail but I'm concerned the scope may hit the rail itself. I may try that and order low and medium rings to see which works. However, I'd rather a cleaner looking setup if at all possible. I'm sure someone must've had this issue before and hoping they will chime in.
Thanks, Mike |

Mount the EGW rail, and cut the extended front portion off to clear the objective.
