Problem with Savage scope mount

[modlaw]

I intend to shoot mostly range and with sticks. Back won't let me shoot prone too much. I am going to give repositioning another try, but if it doesn't work I will have it milled. Since I'm an old fart and don't want to give up shooting or hog hunting in Florida during winter, I guess I will just do what is necessary for my situation. Thanks to all.

Just a quick follow-up. Took my rifle in to my gunsmith this morning. He called this afternoon and said it was done. Great job!. He took a look at my set-up with the scope and said it looked fine because I had a good 4" between the scope and my eye. Now, I will sight it in tomorrow and get ready for a winter of hunts in Florida.

So he did not change the position of the scope, from what is shown in your photo?

This was so good I had to reverse image search it, and the fact that it comes straight from Zeiss' site put me beyond words.

Glad you got it worked out. Good luck down there this winter.

I love the 22-06 so much, that I think I will get a Savage 17 HMR with a long range Vortex to plink and hunt 'yotes. Then I will have to spend $$$ on a calling system. Won't be cheap getting out of that deal. I now have to load up 300 rds on single stage RGBS that will take me a couple of evenings. The only thing that concerns me is hauling all that firepower into a motel the first night without a SWAT team showing up -- I refuse to leave my toys in the parking lot overnight. Anyone have any favorite ways to haul rifles into a motel with out turning heads?

Ammo in a breif case and the gun in a range case wrapped up in a blanket. It will be fine. I don't blame you. I would not leave a gun in a car either! Smart move!

Let me know when you get to that point.

Yes, I looked at your site and prices. I have you saved in my bookmarks.

I have a friend of a friend who has Pelican cases for his rifles. He somehow acquired big stickers with "PROPERTY OF XXX CORPORATION--AV EQUIPMENT" on both his cases. I wish I had connections with a big corp. with these stickers.

Keep in mind I haven't updated my site in a couple years (on the to do list, but not at the top). Just email/call/pm for up to date info. You will not find items cheaper anywhere.
