Why won't it Fit!!!
Bought a Savage .17 HMR last night at Bass Pro. Went back today picked up some rounds and scope and rings. I have went back 3 TIMES today trying to get the right rings to make the scope fit. The scope is a 4x12 Redhead with a 40mm objective. First I bought the Weaver rings that fit up to 40mm, got home that didn't work, went back bought some off the wall brand but it was way to high, went back again bought Weaver rings again, this time for scopes up to 42mm. It would work, but the front of the scope, it has some kind of yardage thing on it, touches the barrel and the front ring doesn't sit perfectly on the base. What do I need to do to make this scope fit. I don't want to go so high that I lift my head off of the stock. I also looked to see if they had any Leupold bases to fit my gun but couldn't find any. I might have to go buy a bunch of them and bring it home and try it. Thanks
