Hello all,
First post, but I have read many good articles in the forum.
I have a new Winchester Alaskan Model 70 .30-06 and it is avery nice looking and handling rifle. Not as nice as the pre-war Model 70 I bought and sold off in college, but how could I have known!
Model 70 Alaskan
My new Model 70 Alaskan has very nice wood, great bluing, and iron sights. It shoots very well so far with 58.0 grains of Norma MRP and 180 grain Nosler Partitions (the 180 grain Nosler e-tip were also fairly accurate at 59.0 grains and seated a bit longer).
I would like to mount a scope, likely a Trijicon 1x6x24 30mm Accupoint, but keep use of the iron sights if scope is detached -

ideally this would be on a picatinny rail so I could mount a red dot or whatever I feel like, but I am having a hard time locating a quality scope rail that has a cut or trough that allows me to see iron sights when scope detached but mounting rail is still on the gun.
Any possible mounting solutions are acceptable, including non-picatinny rails and scope rings, proprietary mounts, or really any mounting system that will allow me to remove scope and still use irons. Conetrol, Talley, Burris, Leupold, Nightforce, Badger, or other good product is acceptable if it is good quality or better. Aluminum or steel is probably fine either way? I would prefer some sort of quick detach mechanism and keeping weight down.
Thanks for your ideas.
