Hello everyone,
Picked up a Remington 700 SPS 300 win mag last week. The store didn't have either the weaver single mount or the weaver front and rear mounts in stock so they ended up selling me some Leupold scope mounts. After installing the Leupold mounts I don't think I really care for them. The rear mount attaches to the scope ring using the mounts windage screws, I can imagine that these can be slightly off causing the scope to off as well.
As a result, I would like to order some weaver mounts and I'm leaning towards the single-piece mount as opposed to the separate front and rear mounts. The only concern I have would be loading the rifle, will the mount get in the way of loading ammunition? Anyone using this setup? If so, can you list your likes or dislikes?
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Jeff
