[QUOTE="gslinger, post: 2374085, member: 47393"] I have a trued rem 788 bedded with a 24" RKS barrel with 1 in 8 twist and 2.5 lbs trigger. I use it for hunting.I want to start target and longer range shooting. I found 1 pic rail in all of canada for my gun.And lucky the new rail has big 8-40 screws. The gun had a weaver rail (1slot in front and 1 slot at rear).It had 1" burris rings that fit the slots. My new scope is 30mm and the TPS lugs wont fit into the weaver slots It had a bushnell elite 4-16x40.And I ugraded to new scope. A vector continental 5-30x56 sfp. I don't want to damage it. I can buy a nikon black 30mm 1 piece scope mount to go on new rail. Cabela's had them on sale ,But are now sold out in canada. I found one on local buy and sell for sale.They shoudn't damage scope. But now it will raise my scope hieght. Since my new scope is 56mm obj. I am hoping it won't be to high. I have a adjustable pad on the stock and can add styrofoam pieces to raise comb hieght. I would like to change to better stock with solid cheekrest and length of pull. Can't find any here. Boyds gunstocks has one and we can order from there. [/QUOTE]
