A couple of weeks ago I won a bid on gun broker and have acquired a Winchester 30-06 made in 1972, it went for 1.00 under what I was willing to spend on it, now I have to figure out what ring height to put on it and a scope for it,was thinking Talley quick release rings and a scope in the 2-7x range, any words of wisdom and advice?
 
It really depends if it has iron sights or not and the size of the objective lens of whatever scope you chose. 40mm and under you are likely safe with medium height rings. Also factor in the height of the bases. Also depending on the scope you may or may not have to remove the rear sight.
 
Ye, it has sights, I was thinking medium height with a 32mm objective size,
 
For a scope,it's been a long time since I looked through a 32mm objective. I personally prefer a 40mm one

I like your choice of scope size and mounting system! Medium height rings should be perfect.
 
You can’t go wrong with a Swarovski Z3 3-9x36. Likewise the Leopold 2,5-8 is a lovely scope on a stalking rifle.
 
For ring height ...
Once you figure out what scope give Talley call they will happily help

Good info, it’s funny though, I have Talley rings and bases on a couple of other rifles, I always just made a WAG (wild ass guess) on height, and until this moment never even thought of calling Talley, awesome suggestion,thanks

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
