[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1856493, member: 26227"] DDWing, I used Leupold weaver bases and rings to mount the scopes. I even took the barrel off, enlarged the screw holes to 8-40 from 6-48. The scope mounting was rock solid. at that time I was going through scope mounting in Gunsmithing college in Lassen County California. The mounting was checked by my instructors and certified better than good. My instructors and I theorized I must have gotten some very bad/cheaply built scopes. I stretched out the LOP so it would not hammer my shoulder and take out the reticle in the scopes I put on the rifle. the rifle was very light weight. the scope and rifle combo was a bit under 6#. I tried putting weight in the stock butt and fore end. nothing worked. that rifle just wrecked scopes. The Weaver scope I put on it the last time was on it for 3 years then just gave up. I own another 2- 300 win mags ; they have not wrecked a scope yet. I can not explain it. that gun is gone from my life. BTW, Eric, my bench partner on the other side had a Savage 110 in 7MM-R/M that did the same thing. it wrecked scope too. [/QUOTE]
