JimT Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I just was mounting a Burris FFII 3x9x40 onto my Savage 25-06 and the scope is to short for some reason. The front ring rides up onto the beginning of the bell for some reason. Anyone else had this happen? The bases and rings are right for this gun. The Redfield Lo-Pro tv view I have fits onto it, but barely. I sat my mounted Leupolds beside the Burris and they would be to short also. Whats up with that???? What really stinks is I took the Burris off from my .270 for no reason now. What a bummer.....Was hoping to shoot in the 25-06 tomorrow.

OJR Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Re: Scope to short???? I have seen it many times and you need to get yourself a set of extension rings! That will take care of the problem! Leupold makes them and I am sure other manufacturer's make them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimT Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Scope to short???? Thanks guys. I ended up mounting the Redfield on it. Going to shoot it tomorrow. I still have to send this scope back for a refurb before the fall...But it has been killing me to shoot this gun. I will post the results I get.....
