I'm awaiting delivery of my Classic 14 in 250-3000.
I have ordered and received a set of Warne M902/902M mounts. I see the ring slot is off set on both.
I'm assuming it makes no difference how I mount them. I hope to gets the rings as far apart as possible to support the scope, a Zeiss Diavari 2.5-10 x 42T.
Hi,
I think you will really like that 250 Savage ; I do mine...
The rear base should work either way as long as it does not interfere with the bolt handle ; the front should not matter ; however I don't have Warne bases...
If your Zeiss is a short scope with long eye relief you may have trouble because of the long span between the rings.
Good luck with your new rifle.

Hi again,
If the scope has a longer tube then you should have no trouble regardless of the orientation of your bases.
One other thing I run into is that the scope's power adjustment ring sometimes interferes with the rear base when using real low rings -- but then I seem to have wierd eyes I guess and usually need to mount my scopes farther forward to get the eye relief I need.
Take care.
No worries, I have different rings. Will PM you re: loads.
Cheers,

Hi John,
Would be happy to share some info with you ; I have not shot mine all that much ; kinda got carried away playing with my 17 Hornet and a 6x250 I put together on a Model 11.
But then it did not take me long to get some good info. ; I just don't have a lot for the 250 Savage.

I had a 6/250 once. It was perfect for Roo (25-40kg liveweight) shooting with 70 grainers. Case prep was a pain however as it was a custom (small) neck.
