Help me pick the best mounting equipment - model 70's

[Choupique]

I'm looking to get a pair of model 70's scopes mounted where I never need to worry about it again.

One is a BACO 338 win mag with a swfa 3-15 in Talley lightweights. Its my do everything rifle and the only one I really use a lot. Wont be changing the scope any time soon. Heavy scope, plenty recoil, don't really trust the lightweights.

Other is a NH super express .375 h&h with no scope or mounts at the moment. It has the narrow hole spacing (0.330" i think) on the rear bridge. Its going to get some flavor of lpvo, probably a trijicon accupoint but not decided yet.

Your best bets are either a picatinny rail bonded to the actions with Loctite 380, or the Leupold Back Country rings/base 1 piece bonded to the action with Loctite 380.

Use a Pic rail on mine and Warne Mountain series rings

Any particular brand? I was leaning this way, had some concerns about crowding the ejection port and raising the scope too much

No issues loading or ejecting?

Zero.
I have now put Pic rails and also Good rings like Warne Mountain Series or Leupold Mark 4 or Back Country on every rifle I own and shoot on a consistent basis

Cool deal. Aluminum rails don't bother yall any?

Ive started hating aluminum from some bad experiences at work.

I’ve had great luck on multiple model 70s with warne basis and warne mountain tech rings.

Nah. Not in this application. However, the best ones were the Burris XTR Two piece pic rails. The were still, and very low profile… so naturally Burris stopped making them. I would, and do- search the internet and find them when I need pic rails for M70’s.
