long tube scope?

[crazydave]

Looking for a scope with a longer tube than most for a savage 111 30-06, any recomendations on which types might work well.

Ideally would like a 4-12x, i just don't like extension rings.

I always had this problem with my long action rem 700 but i bought a burris 3-9x40 fullfield II and didn't need the extension rings.I have a bushnell elite 3200 4-12x40 that also fits without the extension rings.I hear the new redfield 4-12 will fit also.

Zeiss conquest 3-9. Not as high magnification as you want, but the excellent definition of this scope and the long eye relief make up for any magnification shortcomings.

You could go with a rail.

I thought a rail might interfere with case ejection.

They wouldn't likely be so popular if they did.
