Hi im new to the forum and have recently been given a 1961 model 110 30-06 by my grandfather . I put only 3 rounds through it then he told me he had not shot it in over 10 yrs so i figured i should have it checked out by a gunsmith before i shoot it any more. My question is he had an old All America 4x scope on it with weaver pivot mounts and i was told that the mounts are not good because they have a hard time keeping a zero. I have a Leupold 3x9x40mm scope on my 30-30 i was gonna swap for it but for some reason the scope wont mount it seems like the shaft of the scope is to small. i tried new mounting rails and new mounts but it wont fit. Has anyone ran into this problem? or have a suggestion for mounting it? Also i just moved to Colorado in the Denver[img][/img] area and plan on hunting mule deer and elk with it and was wondering if anyone knows a good brand of ammo and what grain i should use i was thinking 180 but was not sure. any help would be great thanks.
