    What scope bases for an older style long action?


    I am looking for more adjustment range for my rifle. I have a couple of older style long actions with the flat rear receiver.

    What type of scope bases work best for you guys?

    Thanks.

    It won't add any MOA, but the Leupold one piece works great on mine.

    I used EGWs .20 moa Picatinny base on both my CF and RF and they work fine.

    the first pic shows a 2 piece. you can see it has a long scope on it slid way back for proper eye relief.
    the second pic shows a style of base that is a lot more forgiving as the newer generation scope have grown "compact"
    there are a few name brands providing this style.
