That was very helpful. I checked out the mounts and rings and it looks like it will work well. After you stated that irons sights on this rifle make you "shudder", I spent some more time trying to figure out what it is about iron sights on this rifle that everybody really doesn't like. No, I'm not a hunter. I like to shoot simply for accuracy and range and for fun. But some additional research led me to several other people putting both iron and glass on a Savage .270 at the same time and regretting it. They had to get so close to the iron that they bashed themselves in the face with the scope. Is that what makes you shudder about it? Or is it a different reason? If that is the reason, is there anything wrong with putting ONLY iron sights on it? Or should I just pass on iron altogether for this rifle as others have suggested and go with glass? Either way, thank you again.
