Question...bases for Stevens

[mooseisloose]

Question...I just got back from the range where I bought a set of Weaver Grand Slam 2 piece bases (Dovetail steel) for my stevens 200. No problem mounting the front base and ring....but the rear base looks kinda wierd...where the screws clamp onto the dovetail hangs over the reciever and over top of the bolt?? It hangs over the reciever by over a quarter inch...is this the correct way to mount or should I swicth it around....but it puts the rings further apart and may not be able to mount my scope.

Any help is appreciated

The front and rear bases for the Stevens are normally the same. It sounds like you either have the wrong rear base or an extended base. If its an extended base, it should go on the front (not the rear), with the extra length towards the rear.

I have Weaver Grand Slam bases on my Stevens and they are both ~1/4" back from the edge of the reciever, front and back.
