I picked up a Savage 340 in 22 Hornet and it looks to be a tackdriver, but the Savages use a one piece mount with a 'bridge' that limits scope choices to 1" tubes and no or very little turret housing. I had a 40 year old K-Mart special Bushnell Sportsview that works just fine, but something like a Leupold 4-12x40 AO sure would be sweet!
Yes, the bridge could be milled or filed, but I would rather not if I can avoid it. The first photo shows the dimension I'm wondering about, followed by the obligatory bragging photos
The rifle
The 5 shot +/- 60 yard groups shot off the back of my car, the one on the left is the first one, the one on the right is after a sight adjustment. That high shot in the second group is 100% my fault, I was giggling so hard that I biffed the shot
Also, those are my FIRST 10 shots through the rifle
