[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 544237, member: 8712"] A Picatinny rail IS a Weaver base, just with more grooves (and maybe .020 shaved off the front to give you more UP to your scope). You need extension rings and maybe medium instead of high. One prob with scopes like Simmons is reduced eye relief. So to solve that you get lower extension rings if they'll fit without the obj end touching the barrel. If not then buy the lowest ext rings you can get and make sure you turn them the right way when you install them (towards the shooter). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
