[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 1879271, member: 84194"] I have a Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 on order that I was originally going to put on a Savage model 10 in 223 that currently has a Burris XTR ii on it. In the meantime I've purchased a Savage 112 BVSS in 25-06 which is a long action. It occurs to me that the NX8 would be put to better use on the 25-06 BVSS than the 223. The NX8 has 5.7 inches of tube length available for scope rings with the shortest tube length on the front end of the scope. The BVSS has individual scope mounts that are about 5 1/2 inches apart so I'm wondering if I will be able to mount that scope on the long action and get proper eye relief. Now I'm thinking about the possibility of using a one piece scope mount with an action cut out BUT the BVSS has an internal box mag so my question is, will there be adequate room to load the mag with a one piece mount on the action? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
