RE: Model 70 and Zeiss 40mm, Which scope mounts?
I have a very similar setup, I have the Mod 70 Featherweight with the Zeiss Conquest.
I used the Medium rings and it works just fine with me. One of the major plusses for me with the Conquest was the long eye relief, so I wanted to get it high enough off the receiver to take advantage of that. Either way, it's pretty low with the medium rings.
