    What scope did you end up going with on your M70?

    I have the correct bases per Warne’s website. The rear is thicker than the front.

    I meant that the rings are identical. The bases are the ones you specified.

    Thanks for the replies. So the bases are correct. M902 & M802. Tried a beer can shim a couple of weekends ago and while closer, still 2 inches low with elevation maxed out. Maybe another shim would do it but the scope was not responding to the amount of clicks it was turned or even close to it...

    One more thing, would this be one layer of beer can to start or a couple?

    Shimming under the base or under the scope in the ring? Also, would I shim the rear?

    They look identical to me. Maybe the front base is out of spec? Everything I’ve heard about Warne has been positive though. May try shimming and see where that gets me.

    I’ve been having trouble getting my scope zeroed on my M70 .375. It has a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36 mounted with Warne low QD rings and bases. I’m shooting Federal 300 grain Nosler Partitions. The first time I took it out, my elevation turret maxed out and still shot 6 inches low at 50 yards...

    Thanks, I ended up buying the rifle Harryc102 posted above. Great guy to do business with and it is a wonderful rifle. I had Briley add a Silvers recoil pad to give it the classic look. Just need to get it over to Africa for a hunt now!
