I have, well had a 3-9x40 credo on a 9 lug weatherby. It’s currently in the drop evals w/ form. If you do decide to use a rail, this one works. A couple of the ones online that say they work, the hole spacing is wrong.

It is tough to keep it close to the bore tho. This is what I ended up with using that rail, medium rings, and that scope. The objective bell hitting the front of the rail is the problem

Just trim the front of that rail and hit it with a sharpie.

I got tired of looking at one piece rings that might barely fit. I ordered a peak 44 J-rail so I'll report on that. The back part is low profile so I should be able to keep the credo lower on the bore axis.

It is aluminum so before a shooting review, I will bed the rail to the action and make sure it stayed true after torque.
