Greetings all. I have a Winchester Model 54 in .270. It is an early one, and still has the steel but-plate. It also has old style scope blocks, on the front receiver ring, and barrel. They ate about 7” apart. I don’t know if they are factory, factory installed as an option, or simply aftermarket. It looks like this rifle has never had a scope.
What are the options for putting a scope on this, without any alterations? Hi-lux Unertl styles are heavy, expensive, and I don’t know if the rings will work with these blocks.
A Stith mount will not wor with the factory bolt.
I am looking for an older straight long tube scope like a Weaver K2.5, possibly using 1” tip-off rings. But the eye relief may not be enough.
Anyone have any suggestions? Long eye relief with a long straight tube?
Thanks.
