Lever Actions and scopes

Works for me.....

Attachment 340733

Late model Weaver K2.5, amiright? I took the biggest buck of my life with a V3 on one of my Marlins.

I have a cheap but good shooting Mossberg 100 .308 that I'm going to put my new Burris on, since all my lever actions are well served with the scopes already on them. This particular rifle is fairly trim and has about the same size and weight as a Marlin 336, so I think a 2-8x35 would be a good scope size for it. I feed .300 Savage level loads to all my .308 rifles and they do great with them.

I have a 3x9 on the 336 30/30 and an Iray IR on the henry long ranger (308W) - don't care how they look, I'm not a cowboy.

I did a test fit of the Burris 2-7x35 on my Mossberg 100. Just as I suspected, the scope needs high rings if you are going to mount it with the objective bell above, rather than in front of, the front scope base. My Burris medium rings were a bit short. My Leopold PRW medium rings, which are more like tall medium rings, just barely cleared. And I mean probably .005-.010 of clearance. Its not a deal breaker by any means, but it is unusual for a compact scope to require taller rings than most. I did order an EGW rail so I can move the scope back farther than the two piece Weaver bases allow, hopefully I can shoot it soon.

Scope mounting locations are unique to each person. The average height and weight folks have it the easiest. I am 6' 4". Too get the scope far enough forward I have to use an extended scope rail mount.

It's been a long time since I purchased some of these, but at the time they were the best available due to using the rear sight dovetail in the mounting system and the rail fully contacting the barrel and receiver.
