Scope mount question

[heiner39]

I just picked up a Leupold VX-II and found the tube to be shorter than my old Bushnell Legend. I have a long action Savage and find that the rings are too far apart for the shorter tube.

Not being knowledgable with scopes and mounts, I'm wondering what the best route would be to take. What would be a better mount...a pictinny style one piece mount with my current Weaver style rings or should I go with extension rings? I have no idea what would be the more reliable/solid option.

I have used the Weaver extension rings to solve this problem. But they are only available in one height, medium or hi, forget which. If you want a lower set up, the pictinny rail works.

I'd recommend the rail. The extension rings are Fugly and High!

Or you could go with a Burris. My Signature 3-9x fits nicely on my Stevens 200 30-06 in Talley Lightweights. I think they're the best ring/base onthe market these days.
