New Nikon scope won’t fit
Haven’t hunted in several years so my wife gave me a new Savage Axis 308 for Christmas. She also gave me a new Nikon 3-9x40 BDC scope. The rifle came with a two piece scope base. When my father in law went to mount the scope, he said that the new scope appeared shorter than he was use to Nikons being and it would not fit because there was no adjustments in the scope mount base that came on the rifle. I know that a one piece base can be purchased and replaced but he doesn’t have the proper torx head to remove the screws. My question is do you have suggestions on how to mount the scope without changing the factory base and what size torx bit does it take to remove the factory base. Thanks
