Just bought a new Savage Accustock 116. I had an extra Leupy VXII 3x9x40 lying around, so I figured it would do fine.... for awhile anyway....

Problem is ...I ordered the Burris signature 2 piecerings and bases, Mounted the scope...and the scope isn't long enough.....Bummer!!

Looked on Leupold's website....it appears that all of there scopes will have the same problem with the Burris bases/rings.

So....bought a Leupold 2-piece STD base. The scope fits...but the rear base sits over the reciever about 1 inch[:'(]. The scope has very little travel rearward in the rings. I can use it like that...but I really prefer tomove the scope a tad farther rearward....just more comfortable.

I would really like to use the Burris signature rings...especially since I paid a good price for them.

Any suggestions on a scope that will fit? I am a Leupy man....but am open to suggestions on a scope that will actually fit well in the rings.

Anyone else have a newer Savage? Can you offer a solution... or should I just use the Leupold base?

Haven't shot the gun yet....waiting untill I resolve this problem.
