[QUOTE="Broz, post: 858688, member: 7503"] Those tip off mounts remind me of a Mod 70 , pre 64 , heavy barrel 220 swift I once traded work for. It had a 6x steel tube weaver in the tip offs. The first time out with this rifle we were shooting aspirins taped with scotch tape in the center hole of some old 45 records. We could shoot the aspirin out and not with direct hits at 100 yards. We even got a few at 200. That is the only experience I have had with the weaver tip offs. But I could see where they could cause problems as well. I like them on this gun as they represent the era of this rifle. If they will hold decent accuracy it would be my choice to leave them. I hope you keep us informed as to what scope you install and to how it shoots. This thread has re-kindled a lost love I have for these rifles. Even has me thinking I need one in 250-3000 for a scabbard carry rifle for a happenstance wolf encounter while riding in the hills pushing cattle around. Thanks for sharing. Jeff [/QUOTE]
