• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Recently bought a 1968 Browning Safari with the Sako action (22-250) at the Tulsa show. The problem is that it came with a one-piece Redfield base and I was wanting to change the one-piece base to a two-piece base. I am running into several dead ends trying to find this two-piece base. Leupold said to use their bases for a Win mod 70,but after checking the hole spacing,that won't work. My hole spacing is .750" front and .500" back. I thought at one time Redfield would have made these two piece bases, but they are probably long gone by now. Any help or leads appreciated.Good shooting,Travis
 
Can't help you with the Redfield mount, but I can offer some alternatives. Weaver made mounts for this model in a 2-piece configuration. Also, there was a base for the Sako/Browning roundtop made for the old Bausch & Lomb external adjusting scopes. This is a one-piece, though. Finally, Conetrol makes mounts for everything, and they are solid and look beautiful. They are, however, a hassle to install because of the ring configuration. To find the correct Redfield, Weaver, or B&L; mounts I would advise just hanging out at gun shows and check out all the dealers in old scopes and mounts. Also you might want to check the Gun List - there are some dealers in old scopes and mounts who advertise there. Good luck - I hope you find what you need. I've had a couple of Sako Brownings myself and I know mounts for them are hard to find.
