Questions about WARNE Bases & Rings for Encore
« on: December 18, 2006, 12:51:16 PM »
Before I go ahead and order, I'd like to ask opinions on base and ring options using Warne products.

I will be mounting a Leupold VX-II   2 X 7 33mm rifle scope to a 24" Bullberry rifle barrel in 308 caliber.
I will also be mounting a Leupold VX-I    2 X 7 33mm Shotgun/ML scope to a 24" Match Grade Machine  barrel in .50 caliber.

They are both drilled and tapped with the standard four hole pattern used by TC.

Any suggestions on Warne or Leupold mounts and bases (product numbers) would be appreciated.  Thanks

Will these ring be ok with the Maxima one piece Encore base?  I'm using Leupold 2 x 7 VX II 33mm scopes.
Thanks for helping a newby out.

I am using the medium with a 3X9X40 Nikon Omega and have no problem, and I did not have to remove the rear sight.

These barrels have no rifle sights.  One is .50 ML the other is .308 rifle.  Should I use the Medium or Low?  Or does it not matter?
Thanks again.

I always try to use the lowest rings I can when mounting a scope.  It seems the closer you are to the centerline of the bore the better off you are.  But you have to consider clearance on the hammer with TCs, and since often hammer extensions cause trouble I like to keep the scope off enough to allow cocking.  You also have to consider where the scope mount and rings leave the scope in relation to the stock, and how it fits your face.  You want a good cheek weld that keeps your eye centered in the scope.  If you wind up lifting your head you will learn soon about paralax problems.  If the scope has to be mounted high for some reason (like a large end bell or some obstruction on the barrel) there are several options for building up the stock.  One is the lace on leather pads, but I prefer the hard rubber glue/screw on type that comes in several sizes.

Hope this helps.

As  Keith L  has pointed out, I would go with the medium for hammer clearance.

I have the Warne Base and Low matte rings on my Pro Hunter Katahdin 209x50 with the VXI 2-7x33 mounted on it and it has quite enough clearance for the hammer on the Pro Hunter.

Also you have the swing hammer, we are talking a standard Encore hammer.
