Scope tube length?

[87TT]

I have a Savage M99 that has a Weaver fixed 4 power scope (old). I want to put a 3x9 or something similar on it and work up some 125gr loads for coyote and wolf. It has a scope mount rail on it that needs a minimum 5.5-5.6 inches on the flat 1 " tube to fit in the rings. The vortex website is the only one that shows this measurement. (see L4)

Does anybody know of or where I can find this info on other scopes? I want to get and OK scope (read that inexpensive) to put on this rifle that will get limited use. I want something light, variable 3x9 ect. and affordable. The Vortex may get a nod if I don't find something else but it is a 4x12. Thanks

A lot of manufacturers publish that info on their website. What scopes are you looking at?

Not sure just something in expensive. I've looked at several manufactures but no one has the length but Vortex. Only 1" diameter.

I will probably just have to take a tape and measure some at Sportsmans next time I go. (two hrs away)

Leupold has it for every model under dimensions, the VX-Freedom 3-9x40 is too short at 5.38". The 3.5-10x40 VX3i has a particularly generous mounting space of 6" so it would work.

Meopta has it for most models, except newer ones which is aggravating. The 3.5-10x44 Meopro is 5.55", so it may work.

Burris fullfield 2. Has a decently long tube length.
