To Cycler, Had a pretty fair idea that ordinary 110 mounts would fit and could have bought Leupold steel mounts locally but I am trying to keep the weight down so I was after Weaver aluinium blocks and Weaver rings, the ones that look like a bent piece of tin. Also I was after Lee reloading dies and all I could get was RCBS which are about twice the price. Rang a big gunshop in Brisbane and they are going to post out the stuff I need so I will be in business about the middle of next week.Even though it is a silver rifle I prefer black scopes bases and rings. Is your 7mm08 a 1in13 twist if so does it shoot ok?
