Just got back in - so here is the promised pic...
These are the bases I ordered from Doc, you can see the front base is extended out onto the barrel. I am using Millet rings. The scope is a Bushnell Trophy with a Mil-Dot. I think this base set up gives you more options in what scopes you might be able to install on that really short receiver.
Page #1 - first picture shows Warne base for an Austin & Halleck installed on the White
Second/Third pic shows that the Warne front base does not have the holes drilled to match the White - the base sitting on top is a Grand Slam S452 and the one that woodgoat was modifiying
Fourth pc - shows a Grand Slam S-455 designed for a White G. Not shown is the Grand Slam S-439 for the front. It is a small base just big enough to fit on the receiver with ony one ring slot.
Page #2 explains itself?
Hope some of this helps...
