take a look at the pics I put up in pic post "7MM Mag Love"....you can see where I took the grinder to the front of the rail to clear the front bell. I have the scope sitting about 1/2" too far back at present but at least there is room with the rail to find a way. I put the EGW rail on the Weatherby like you did with the Whitetail Classic, its a short body scope and worked fine using the Weaver offset rings, front and back although the low rings are not quite as low as I would like. Ditch the dove tail mount/rings IMHO. Seems finding the right rings any more is a pain. Going forward, I want to use the Signature rings dedicated to each scope for easy swaps like boots and foxx are doing..makes sense and allows for +600 yd without a 20moa rail. Live and learn...foxx buys something that doesn't quite work and I buy it from him....nice too have field tester
