Just got a Model 88 and it has a weaver swing base and rings. I'm looking for solid base and rings preferably in Canada unless a US seller can sell to someone in Canada. Thanks guys
 
If by swing base, you mean the old Weaver pivot mount where the scope can be pivoted to one side to allow immediate use of iron sights, I think it's a good one. Back in 1963 dad got a Win 70 featherweight for me for hs graduation and I put a Leupold 4x in one of those mounts on the rifle. I still have it and it has always returned to zero, never a problem in 55 years. If they still made them I would put them on a couple of other rifles I have that have open sights, they are much handier than the quick detacheable type mounts.
 
X2 on the weaver pivot rings/bases. Give em a try. I know they're not the in thing, and may be looked down on by many; but they are light, and trim, and work for me! Besides they are 'period correct'.
 
The matter of fact it has an old Weaver 4x and I'm tall with long neck and maybe the rings are too low but I have to crouch into it more than I like to be confortable. If you swing the scope to the side you barely see the rear sight. I got a fixed base and tall rings for it from a member and I'll couple it to a 1.5 x 6 scope and it should give my neck a break. If anyone is interested make me an offer. It fits where a #53 base goes and the rings are medium height.
