I am lookingfor advise on mounting a Leupold VX6 3x18x44 to a Savage 116 long action. I want to go as light weight as possible.

Has anyone had any luck with using Talley lightweights? I know they have offsets, but don't think that will help. Has anybody tried turning them them around to face the opposite direction?
I don't think I can get the proper eye relief.

Also thinking about a DNZ rail ring offset combo.
Any thoughts on this?

I can always go picatinny and rings, maybe aluminum.

Any pictures would be great!
