I picked up a late '89 model 110 in .243 from a neighbor for a song and I'm looking to put a modern scope - Leupold VX6 3-18x44 - on it. Couple questions about these integral bases:
1. Are they any good? If not, is there a remedy for them? I prefer Pic rails but I'm guessing we're talking about a gunsmith removing them and tapping the receiver, in order to install a pic rail?
2. Are they Weaver pattern bases? I tried to throw on a set of TPS rings I had laying around, but they won't fit. So, I'm guessing they're Weaver bases. Just need to confirm this before I order some more rings.
3. Is there anything problematic about these bases - something I should know before buying and mounting a good scope on it? Like, 'they're notoriously out of alignment?'
Sorry for all the questions but these are uncharted waters, for me.
