Long Ranger H014S scope mounting

[LeverGunFan]

Just an FYI - there is an earlier thread regarding mounting a scope on a Long Ranger with some pictures that may be helpful....

Everytime I have USPS parcels go through the KC, KS distribution center, they end up lost, delayed, or destroyed. This time is no exception. Waiting on my Skinner bases, hammer extension, and two extra mags to clear KC. I'll post an update someday.

Well, it did end up being a little farther back than I prefer with the Skinner bases. It will suffice until I can convince myself that a pic rail is ok. (ETA the picture is scrunched because I cropped the height, and this BBS code automagically resizes?)

Finally glad to see it altogether! Now go shoot and share what you experienced, please.
[The BBS code does resize. The picture will post fine if the aspect ratio is exactly 4:3. Otherwise it'll stretch vertically making it look squished side to side. There is a patch for it, but hasn't been downloaded and applied. There are some debug notes here in the Hobby/Photography posts if you are interested http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... =20#p64087]

Probably be early next week before free time and weather align, but I will do a range report when I can. All I have laid in now are some 168gr HPBT's which were stellar out of my last 20" bolt gun. May have to find some 150's to see how they compare. I'll make a new post when sighters and groups are in.

...Annnd just realized how confusing it must be for some folks when mentioning "BBS code" in this forum.

I bought a one piece Tally Pictiney style mount, just in case I run into the problem you pointed out. I have my fingers crossed as I really like the Skinner mounts. I am using a similar Leopold scope.

I mounted my Leopold Tactical tonight. I have the opposite problem in that I had to pull the scope slightly to the rear to get a repeatable full sight picture. It looks like I could go with low mount rings instead of the mediums I am using. Friday I will sight the 6.5 CRD in.

Have a good time Friday! Take care shooting that first shot. The scope on my LR sat far enough back that I thought I might get punched in the eye.
