Lowest scope mount for Model 7

MagnusH · December 9, 2016, 10:23 PM

Title says it all...

In need of a new scope mount for my Model 7, 30mm tube and 42 mm bell, 3 hole receiver.

Any suggestions?

First on my list is d&t a fourth hole and mount Talley LW (or s&k if possible).
Second a low rail and low rings, not much to choose from, any rail lower than the rest?
Third is a one piece or leupold mount.

EGW makes a 3-hole rail for the Model 7.

But how low is it, looking at some EGW mounts I think they are building way to much on top of the receiver. How are they compared to the Warne? Not full rail, but easier access to mag with low scope.

I put one on my Model 7. It's OK. After that, you can put low rings on it to keep the profile low.
